Verdict

Macgiloney won this last year and has been in good form since switching to fences, scoring at Roscommon before a fair effort in a tough Galway handicap. GO ANOTHER ONE (NAP) has won at Listed and Grade 3 level over timber and has done well over the bigger obstacles. He reverted to hurdles at Cork earlier this month and made most for an emphatic victory so should take some beating in that kind of form. Dolciano Dici hasn't fulfilled early potential and steps up to this trip for the first time nor has Dinons, a prolific winning novice who has been chasing since May of Last year. Moonshine Bay has a course and distance victory to his credit but is another who hasn't run over timber for a very long time.
