Verdict

Captain Cj is the form pick on his two starts over fences and had some smart opposition behind when runner-up to Ronald Pump here earlier this month. However, he's facing some potentially useful newcomers to fences and has been beaten a long way by CAREFULLY SELECTED in a bumper and a maiden hurdle. Willie Mullins' charge had less than a length to spare over Lord Schnitzel, who made a promising start over fences behind Faugheen at Punchestown, in a Limerick maiden hurdle in March but improved on that when a close third behind Minella Indo in a Punchestown Grade 1 in May and could be an exciting prospect. The stable also run Ontheropes, who made a very impressive hurdling debut at Tramore in April and has a fine pedigree for chasing. Brace Yourself has made a successful winning start the last two campaigns so the lack of a run won't be a problem while Mormon has always looked like a chaser and Off You Go will improve for his recent run at Navan.
