Verdict

Francois returned to form over hurdles at Down Royal on Friday and though he has never won over fences he's well handicapped with his rider's claim factored in. Willywampus showed plenty of potential in three runs over fences last November and makes his handicap debut. Where's Bunny completed a double over hurdles and fences in the autumn but has struggled from her raised mark. ROOM TO ROAM won on the Flat here last summer and ran very well when last seen over fences at Thurles in February. He can get back to winning ways on ground that suits.
