      Verdict

      Grade 3-winning chaser Fine Rightly takes a drop in class having struggled in the Lexus at Leopardstown last month. He should finish much closer in this but ASH PARK makes more appeal. The latter has yet to win in four starts over fences but finished third in this grade at Musselburgh a fortnight ago and can come good in this. Spanish Fleet is struggling to get his head in front and Jet Master could only manage third at this level in a veterans' chase here last month but Final Assault has slipped back down the weights and Bernardelli is not badly treated if back to his best.
