Verdict

Coolfighter is taking his time to find winning form after arriving from Germany where he won five times. Sharjah makes a quick reappearance after a good run at Fairyhouse on Sunday though that was over 1m2f and this is a huge step-up in trip. Hurricane Jojo would enter calculations with some ease in the ground, a remark that also applies to Willie Mullins' French import Alileo. GINGER GENIE, a winning bumper, attempted to make all over 1m6f at Bellewstown and almost made it, just being caught on the line by Ariahey, who was receiving 11lb. There's further to travel here but she wasn't stopping at the finish and with her light weight she's taken to lead them a merry dance. Massini's Trap ran well over a trip too short at Fairyhouse and should give a good account while the lightly-raced Winter Lion is one to keep an eye on in the betting.
