Verdict

Jean Genie is becoming expensive to follow but Alan Johns prefers him to stablemate Connard and he is likely to be in the firing-line again. Slainte Mhor won at Ayr but has been raised 6lb and may be better on ground with some give. Get Real could figure making his chasing bow but CHANTING HILL has already won over these fences and a clear round at Musselburgh after a fall when going well at Newcastle should have restored confidence.
