Verdict
Thepartysover is the only course and distance winner here. He's been badly out of form and it would take a leap of faith to support him but this isn't a great race and it would be no shock to see a better run. Street Party has only had four runs over hurdles and makes his handicap debut under a big weight for a four-year-old. Notification and DEANO fought out the finish of a similar handicap at Cork in March with the former prevailing by around 3l. The runner-up is slightly better off and should have more scope so is taken to reverse the form and gain his first success. Seamus Mor made a pleasing return after a break at Naas early this month but was beaten a long way at Cork on Sunday and is hard to catch right. Gatesoffrance couldn't get much lower in the weights and ran his best race to date here a couple of weeks ago though that isn't saying much.
