Verdict

Construct, a dual hurdles winner, has also won three times on the Flat and makes his debut over fences. Winning hurdler Magheralin Mick has shown enough ability over fences to get competitive in this moderate event and Run For Pat, twice a winner over hurdles, hails from a yard in top form and should make a bold bid for a successful chasing debut. PRIORY PARK (NAP) has had nine starts over fences without winning but has been narrowly beaten in handicaps a couple of times and that experience can be put to good use here. Some Dove started favourite for her chasing bow at Limerick and, though well beaten, will have come on for the run.
