Verdict
Fool's Wildcat had run well over timber before making his chasing bow at Sedgefield where he was clear when falling two out. He should have learnt from that experience and must be a threat as must the useful hurdler Hazeymm, though he's making his chasing debut rather late in life. Lough Ferrib unshipped David Casey on his debut over fences at Punchestown but did much better when runner-up to Prince Of Fire at Limerick where Regal D'Estruval was behind. GUDNIS GRACIOUS ME found only Down In Neworleans too strong when making her chasing debut at Roscommon where she jumped well throughout. With that under her belt she can come out on top in a race that should produce plenty of future winners.
