Verdict

Skorcher is certain to do better in time and was impeded early when making his chasing debut at Punchestown. Grade 1 winning hurdler BERTIES DREAM had three runs over fences last season without troubling the judge but all were against very strong opposition and he should have learnt enough from the experience to take this. Carloswayback jumped well enough on his chasing bow at Down Royal and that should have done him the world of good while Start Me Up has the potential to do better than he's shown to date over fences. Prolific point-to-point winner Carrigeen Lechuga has been finding life tough under Rules while Representing will need to have progressed from her opening run over fences to take a hand.
