Verdict

A couple of these stand out. FOXROCK has won a couple of these events now after beating On His Own, rated 153, at Thurles last month. Ted Walsh’s charge is just preferred to On The Fringe on that form. The latter looked as good as ever last year when recording a hat-trick of hunter chase wins at Cheltenham, Aintree and Punchestown for the second time in a row but was well beaten on his reappearance in this last year along with Wish Ye Didnt. Salsify was third last year though fell behind Foxrock last time while recent point-to-point winner Staker Wallace is interesting for Enda Bolger having his first start over regulation fences.
