Verdict

CHINA GOES GREEN was gaining his first success over fences on only his fifth start when staying on strongly to score over 2m4f at Gowran. Jim Dreaper has booked Ruby Walsh for the ride and the six-year-old should be even better suited by this trip. Red Basil is a consistent performer at this level though he was raised 10lb for his victory at Gowran in March and may just be a few pounds high at present. He just has the beating of Amy's Song on their run behind The Hard Hat at Wexford and Liam Kenny's mare is another who could do with a few pounds off. Farmaland, who was well beaten in that Wexford event, is much better than that and is tried in blinkers for the first time while Golden Alou could pose a threat if managing to get round without mishap.
