Verdict
The five-year-old Cadeau Du Bresil makes his chasing debut with one victory over hurdles to his credit and the allowance will help though his stable also run dual hurdles winner Bull Ride, who has won on good ground over timber. STATIC JACK (NAP), a winning point-to-pointer, bumper and hurdler, looked up against it on his chasing bow at Cork but produced an excellent round of jumping and with, more to come, can defy a penalty. Bitview Colin has had a busy year and hasn't been in the best of form though ran well for a long way on his debut over fences at Kilbeggan but The Jazz Singer's two victories over hurdles came on ground with some give.
