Verdict

Norman Lee, who has a good chance with Sole Pretender in the previous race, has booked Darragh O'Keeffe for OSKAR HIGH (NAP) here and the move can pay off. The seven-year-old has only won once in 22 starts over hurdles but this is his first start over a trip this far and he should be suited judged on his latest run here. Gotaway was in winning form over fences earlier this year and was having his first start for over three months when reverting to hurdles at Tipperary. He will be tuned up for this while Tungsten Kid has been well supported in his last two starts and is another likely to be suited by the longer trip. Captain Doran was behind the selection here last time but that was his handicap debut and he can get closer.
