In depth

Verdict

Soul Kaliber has disappointed so far over fences and looks a few pounds high. Ballyfinboy last won a race two years ago over slightly further on this track but has now dropped to a winnable mark. FAIRYMOUNT BOY (NAP) showed nothing in five starts over fences but has been in good form over hurdles and can revert to the bigger obstacles on a 20lb lower mark so looks the one to be on. Honest Robber's only victory came on soft ground but he's been doing better on quicker going recently and could provide the main threat. Swift has been going quite well but is better on ground with some give.
