Verdict

Vinnie hasn't been seen since pulling up over fences exactly a year ago but had looked very progressive over timber previously. Bonifacio was also returning from a year off when a very good fifth at Limerick last week and with that under his belt he can go close. Winterdown Star ran well at Tipperary and is quite well treated over hurdles compared to his chase mark as is Back On The Road, though he returns after a very long absence. EVER DREAMING is hardly the most consistent of performers but this is her trip and ground so a chance is taken that she's on a going day.
