In depth

Verdict

The two to concentrate on here are Doc O'Donnell and BAIZICALLY. The former, who landed an open point-to-point at Knockanard last month, ran a fine race on his return to regulation fences when runner-up to C'Est Ca at Navan and will take some beating in that kind of form but it's Shark Hanlon's charge who gets the vote. A decent hurdler and Flat winner, he made a very promising start over fences when runner-up to Uncle Junior here earlier this month and today's slightly quicker ground will be very much in his favour. Maiden hurdle winner Georgie has been out of form for some time but could prove best of the remainder on his chasing bow.
