In depth

Verdict

Curvacious is the best of these over the smaller obstacles and, as such, has obvious claims if taking to fencing. But LOUGH ROE LADY's experience should stand her in good stead as she's been placed in three of her four starts in chases, including a second at this track, so she gets the nod. Fromthecloudsabove goes fencing straight after winning a maiden hurdle at Wexford and could figure while Rossa Parks finished a lot closer at Tramore last time and may also get involved. Silver Chief wasn't disgraced on her chasing debut and looks best of the remainder.
