Verdict

Le Braye hadn't shown much in three starts over fences before narrowly beaten over 2m6f at Tramore. He's likely to improve while Muroor has won twice over hurdles here but hasn't shown much to date over the bigger obstacles. Winning point-to-pointer Thisonesforollie, a dual winner over hurdles, will have come on a bundle for his recent chasing debut at Killarney while Pat's Pearl has her first start over fences having run a close second over hurdles here a fortnight ago. PAYNGO has had three runs over fences, falling in two of them, but she was in the lead when coming to grief at the last at Kilbeggan last month and compensation awaits.
