In depth

Verdict

Joseph O'Brien has two entries and TREASURE CHEST looks the pick. He was returning from a long break when scoring at Clonmel and a 5lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a follow-up. The stable's Inca Gold ran quite well in a novices' chase here last month but poorly at Wexford a week later. Little Haarth makes a quick reappearance after a decent effort over 2m4f on the latter track last week though this could prove on the short side. Roachdale House also looked as though a longer trip would suit when staying on over this distance at Perth while three-times hurdles winner My Manekineko is 0-11 over the bigger obstacles though would have a chance on his penultimate run when runner-up to Perfect Leader at Wexford.
