Summer Hill has had four starts over fences and fallen in two of them, both when there with every chance. He has an obvious chance if staying on his feet but APRILS JOY (NAP) is much better than she showed on her chasing bow at KIlbeggan and, in receipt of 12lb, can add to her victories between the flags, over hurdles and on the Flat. Gavin Cromwell's charge was hampered at a crucial stage that day and her saddle slipped so a line can be drawn through the performance though she still finished third. Bosco Di Alco is an experienced chaser who has run in much better races than this, though is without a win in a dozen starts, but dual point-to-point winner Golden Nomad is one to note on his debut over regulation fences. Baily Thunder scored over hurdles here last month and should have few problems jumping fences.
