Verdict
Miss Sarenne has failed to finish in five of her last seven starts over fences and will need to jump much better. Kakagh had little chance in a Grade 1 at Punchestown in May and has disappointed since beating Lucky William at Naas while Vital Plot made too many mistakes at Galway last month before being well beaten on the Flat at Dundalk. TRAFFIC ARTICLE scored on fast ground at Tramore last month but it was very testing when a fine runner-up to Ainama at Ballinrobe and he has been improving enough over the bigger obstacles to take this.
