Verdict

Boherna Lady was sent to the UK for her last two starts, failing to last out 3m1f at Huntingdon before a very easy victory over 2m3f at Towcester. She's obviously in good heart but is 12lb higher than her last success in Ireland. VIC APPROACH has yet to score in 16 starts over timber but produced a better run at Downpatrick last month before gaining his first success over fences at Tramore. He can race from a 25lb lower mark than over the bigger obstacles and that can swing things his way. Fairy Field came close to losing her maiden tag when less than a length behind Give Her Bach at Tramore when the well-supported Cloudy Morning was behind. The latter can definitely do much better and could prove the main threat though a strike-rate of 1-32 is off-putting. Prosperity Square will enjoy the conditions and can run over hurdles on a very lenient mark compared to his chase rating so shouldn't be dismissed.
