Verdict
Indiana Jones generally races over much further when tackling fences, as does Oscar Romero. KILDORRERY (NAP) landed a Cork handicap in April and has been racing in stronger company. He's only 3lb higher and looks the one to beat. Railway Hurricane has had 16 starts over fences without winning but was narrowly beaten when sent to Cheltenham in November. He's better on quicker ground while Jack Hackett has questions to answer after refusing at Aintree and is another who is better over further. Benefit Run is well handicapped on his close second at the Galway Festival but Shakeytry has been looking a bit high in the ratings.
