Verdict

Big Kern has been chasing and hasn't enjoyed the heavy ground but he's won between the flags and landed a bumper on quick going so shouldn't be underestimated. NEVER SAID THAT hasn't had much racing recently and his run here a couple of weeks ago was his first since a very good effort on New Year's Day. He's handed the vote in an open contest though Mr Eko, whose cracking effort at Punchestown in February was followed by a poor run over fences a few days later, should also be noted. Ballyfinboy hasn't won over hurdles for a very long time and is better known as a staying chaser but he arrives here on a very lowly mark and must be considered.
