In depth

Verdict

Well Joey is on a long losing run but is 2lb lower than when scoring here in March last year. Pairc Na Ngael has never won but is now on his lowest-ever mark while SIBERIAN STAR has only won over hurdles. The latter ran well over 3m at Down Royal and wouldn't need much more to get off the mark over fences. Turbo doesn't win often and looks high enough in the weights but My Friend The Wind makes his chasing debut from his lowly hurdles mark and is one to keep an eye on in the market. Sean Says arrives in winning form having scored on the Flat last month and makes her chasing debut.
