Verdict
Pass Hymn never got into the race at Tipperary and was fortunate to be left second but that wasn't a bad run in the context of this race. Tony Mullins' horses are in good form and JOSEPHINA (NAP) can continue the run. A winner over hurdles here, she was having only her second start over fences and returning from a long break when runner-up over slightly further here last month and can go one better. Fulysse ran well enough behind In Your Shadow at Tipperary to be considered while Father Jed has more experience over fences than most of these without really threatening. Scully's Dream was tackling 2m6f when beaten a long way into second here last time and that looks more his trip.
