Verdict

Never Complain made a winning start over fences at Down Royal last March but looks a bit high in the weights on what he's achieved subsequently. IBETELLINGYOUALIE was having his first start in over a year when runner-up to Coolaghknock Glebe over this track and trip 10 days ago and, with that under his belt, can go one better. Winter Magic was behind that day and looks held while Heavenly Brook continues to frustrate having only won once in 27 starts over fences and he was behind Kilmurry Kid at Naas last time. Any further rain would aid the cause of the winner while Capital Pursuit is making his handicap debut from a lowly mark and is one to note.
