Verdict
Cassells Rock has been a bit hit and miss over hurdles since joining Tony Martin from France where he won on Deauville's Fibresand. Money Spider has thrived since returning to fast going and is by no means harshly treated with a 4lb rise for her Limerick victory. ZEFTAN showed that fast conditions hold no terrors with a hard-fought success at the Curragh and connections will be delighted that he's only been raised 2lb. Juara stepped up to 1m6f for the first time at Tipperary and duly obliged but looks harshly treated with another 8lb to contend with. Chill has been narrowly beaten over fences in his last two starts but has gone well here in the past and Shake The Bucket scored over the bigger obstacles at Wexford last month.
