Verdict
Gelee Blanche ended the last campaign with a victory at Downpatrick in October and didn't reappear until a couple of weeks ago where he jumped moderately at Killarney. Brideswell Lad was having only his third start over fences when a convincing winner at Limerick and looks to have more to offer while Filon D'Oudairies has won around here and returned to form with a narrow defeat at Killarney. Where's Bunny has mainly been racing over hurdles since a course and distance victory in June so a chance is taken with MOONLIT SEA. Danny Mullins was on board when the six-year-old returned from a very long break with a cracking effort over timber at Tramore and he makes his chasing debut from a very lowly mark.
