Verdict

Henry De Bromhead has won three of the last seven and though Rachael is on board Percy Warner, Toss Again, a chasing debut winner at Limerick, looks the stable pick. Ben Pauling sends Your Darling from the UK and he won an Ascot handicap first-time-back last winter so the lack of a run won't be a problem. It's rare to see a Willie Mullins' trained entry at the bottom of a handicap and the very consistent hunter Good Bye Sam could be thrown in though hasn't raced since April last year. The stable's Inclusion is worthy of consideration if getting a run from his reserve spot. DESERTMORE HOUSE (NAP) had some decent hurdles form but was always likely to do better as a chaser. He made a very impressive debut at Kilbeggan and his trainer has worked wonders with similar types in the past. Pakens Rock steps up in class after completing a Kilbeggan double.
