Verdict

Nadover is suggested in an open heat but he will have to put a poor run behind him if he's to justify selection. Irish Legend and A Glass In Thyne are two others to consider closely. The selection has done most of his racing over fences and was competing from a mark of 139 when pulled up here last time; he lines up here on 113. He's had just five starts over hurdles and that may not be a fair reflection of his ability. The selection had won both previous visits here and handles heavy ground. A Glass In Thyne is another chaser bidding to take advantage of a lower mark over hurdles but it's difficult to gauge how much ability he has retained from his second to Carruthers at Bangor; the booking of Choc Thornton has to be viewed as a positive. Irish Legend wasn't beaten far behind Kicks For Free last time and enters calculations on that form, Deep Reflection and At The Money are not without each-way claims whilst Snow Patrol was in the process of running a big race here on his penultimate start. Nick's Choice has been in fine form but may find this a shade competitive as may This Way and Pistol Desbois has something to prove at present. Competitive fare but Nadover has an obvious chance.
