Verdict

Hidden Present created a surprise when landing this a year ago and it will be an even bigger shock if repeating the process in the kind of form he's been showing this campaign. Another Flutter was having only his third start over fences when landing a beginners' chase at Thurles but looks high enough in the weights on his handicap debut. Twice The Craic returned to winning form with a strong performance at Navan though he probably needs very testing conditions to produce his best these days. Galway Legend generally does his best but was having his 47th career start when finally breaking his duck at Sligo in September and hasn't been seen since. BOROLEE gets a tentative vote in a tough race to call as Liz Doyle's charge occasionally produces the goods as he did when beating Burnt Oil Babe at Punchestown in October and this could be his day.
