Jamie Codd had a superb ride on Cause Of Causes at Aintree and the leading amateur can go one better here on board PRESENTING JULIO (NAP), who was having his first start for Gordon Elliott when third at Downpatrick last month. That was also only his second run over fences so, with improvement likely, he can take this. Dr Waluigi is another lightly-raced type over fences though he had plenty of chances over hurdles and didn't take them. Soaring High, a dual point-to-point winner, was in the lead at this trip before fading when tackling 2m7f at Clonmel so looks a threat in a poor quality handicap.
