Verdict
Dogora didn't show much in a couple of starts on the Flat in France but he's from a powerful jumping family and is certain to do better with a test of stamina. Casual Creeper has come up against some useful young hurdlers and has to be respected though he was behind Danequest at Cork last month and there doesn't appear any reason for a form reversal. Spot The Pro ran poorly last time so this should go to PACELLI ROAD. Dermot Weld's charge only had three runs on the level but made a very promising debut over timber behind South South West at Gowran and can go one better.
