    Verdict

    FURY ROAD looked a high-class chaser when landing a Grade 1 novices' event at Leopardstown's Christmas meeting last year and though that was over three miles he was always travelling like a winner. He had Vanillier 18 lengths behind and though 4lb better off the latter will struggle to reverse the form. Delvino was having only her third start when landing a Naas novices' chase in March and receives 18lb from the selection while Fighter Allen looks capable of better than we have seen to date and in receipt of plenty of weight has to be considered.
