Verdict

Winning form is at a premium in this low grade handicap chase so the fact ISLE OF INISHMORE is chasing a hat-trick looks a big plus. Tim Vaughan's runner has shown real progressive form on those last two efforts and the fact he makes a chase bow off his last winning hurdles mark he looks to have a good chance. Any market support for Festival King would be interesting on his return from a lengthy absence and Strobe would be a leading light based on his penultimate run. It looks prudent to stick with winning form so Isle Of Inishmore has to get the vote.
