Verdict

Fakir won two of his last three over hurdles last winter but so far hasn't taken to fences. His stable companion Choungaya has had seven starts over the bigger obstacles and was in touch for a long way in the lucrative 3m Paddy Power at Leopardstown last month. He has to be respected on that form while it's time Braeside was winning over fences and his second to subsequent Grade 3 runner-up Fils D'oudairies at Navan would see him difficult to beat. ET DITE has failed to fire in two starts over fences but this longer trip should bring out the best in her and, with her 7lb allowance, she's taken to upset the likely market leader. Winning point-to-pointer Madison To Monroe is the type to improve now tacking fences.
