Verdict

Dual point-to-point winner Treacy's Star has yet to reach a place in a dozen starts under Rules but this is a poor handicap and she ran well enough when fourth at Punchestown to be considered. Right Strategy won a hunter chase here a couple of years ago but hasn't impressed under Rules but Hidden Present is a resolute galloper who generally attempts to make all, as he did over the course and distance last month. He kept going all the way to the line but had no answer when WATERLOO CHATEAU and the in-form Preswell Lad shot past and the winner can go in again as he's only 1lb higher. Fast Exit hasn't had much experience over fences but has shown promise and may do best of the remainder.
