Verdict

ARDERA RU (NAP) won twice over hurdles at the beginning of the year before a very good second over fences at Tramore and is well handicapped with his rider's claim taken into consideration. Baldur's Gate is lightly-raced and has never won but has scope and Rachael's presence is a positive. General Ryan put his jumping problems behind with a close second at Tramore but Agirlcalledchloe is 0-21. Likable Chancer is 1-39 but has looked like winning all summer and led for a long way at Punchestown last week. Kilmurry Jj and Fassbender would need to be considered if getting a run.
