Verdict
Norwich Flyer has won twice between the flags this year but performed poorly in hunter chases on this track. Thyne For Deploy won a couple of minor races over timber last spring but was always likely to do better over fences and he's one to note as is Representing, who beat a huge field over timber at Punchestown recently and makes her chasing debut. MODEL COUNTY LASS was a very unlucky loser on her chasing debut at Kilbeggan, staying on very strongly after being impeded at a crucial stage. With that experience under her belt she can go one better though So Determined should make a bold bid as his five starts over fences to date have been in better company and he hasn't been disgraced.
