Verdict

Course and distance winner Phare Isle couldn't cope with the step up in grade at Punchestown last time but can make his presence felt in this. Border Breaker was another whose hat-trick bid failed last time, at Ayr, and he may struggle to give 6lb to DOUBLE SILVER. Fergal O'Brien's mare won over this trip over fences at Worcester in 2013 and she's been in great form over hurdles at Ludlow lately. The grey may have too much speed for staying chaser Master Rajeem on this ground but Get Home Now has been showing signs of a revival and looks a better bet than the returning Kilfinichen Bay and Spirit River.
