Verdict

Pakens Rock has been here twice and won both though not over a trip this far. It's a long time since Riggs gained his only success though he's generally consistent at this level and ran well at Punchestown last time. ROBYNDEGLORY (NAP) has won five times over timber including over this trip. She landed a Fairyhouse handicap over 2m4f last month and was by no means disgraced in a Punchestown Grade 3 next time. Mouse Morris' horses are running well and Whatsavailable, a winner at Fairyhouse in December, takes a big drop in class after running in a Grade B handicap at Leopardstown last month. Winning bumper Champella made a successful start over hurdles at Down Royal in August and also scored at Wexford in October.
