Verdict
SWEET MY LORD won a chase at Tramore before being brought down over timber last time. He's rated higher than today's opposition over jumps and gets the nod. Abou Ben went close in a chase at Roscommon last time but Caim Hill was pulled up on his reappearance. Summer Star landed a double over hurdles at Leopardstown earlier this year and, after a recent third over 1m4f on the Flat, she could go close over this longer trip.
