Verdict

Eoin Doyle looks to hold the key to this with Beliar and GRAND CRU and it's the latter, who won this a year ago from just 3lb lower, who gets the vote. He hasn't been in the best of form but this trip and track clearly suits and he holds Ionisphere on last year's run. Liberty Love was sent to Wolverhampton to land a minor handicap over this trip but a 6lb rise may scupper his chance of a follow-up and Star Of Aragon looks a much bigger threat. A winner over hurdles at Leopardstown's Christmas meeting on his latest start, he was also successful at Galway and Cheltenham last year and looks sure to go well though Galway looks on the agenda again and he may just need the run.
