Verdict

Rossvoss won this last year and had a run between the flags to sharpen him up for another crack though he's 16lb higher. Clarcam is a Grade 1 winning chaser who can race from a 16lb lower mark over hurdles and Katie O'Farrell's claim further enhances his prospects while stable companion Kings Bandit returned from a year off with a very good run at Cork behind today's rival Emcon and should get competitive. Scoir Mear completed a double before tackling a very strong handicap over slightly further here last month and looks certain to get involved. GURTEEN is unexposed over hurdles having run just three times and he made a bright start over fences here last month. He could have been let in lightly for his handicap debut and gets the nod.
