In depth

Verdict

Archies Charm and Defan, who have both won over hurdles here, make their chasing debuts and the latter's yard also run Eagle Moon, who finished mid-division in a Tramore handicap chase on Sunday. Dual hurdles winner NERO ROCK scrapes into this on a mark of 116 and though well beaten into third on his chasing debut at Wexford was staying on over that 2m so the extra should suit. Gelee Blanche won a Tramore maiden hurdle in April and made her debut over fences there last month where she found 2m6f stretching her stamina. She was up with the pace until the closing stages so should get into contention. Thisonesforollie has now had 18 starts over fences without winning while three-times hurdles winner Trees Valley hasn't shown much over the bigger obstacles.
