Verdict

Several of these are making their handicap debuts including the top pair. It's difficult to fathom how High Net Worth has attained a rating of 92 after five poor runs over timber though he's done much better on the Flat. Diamond Dame made a winning racecourse debut for Sir Michael Stoute at Wolverhampton in 2012 and though not showing much over hurdles to date has more scope than most of these. Carlyan has one decent run to her credit on soft ground but hasn't run for over a year so this should go to GLEN ORCHY LAD (NAP). Trainer Jimmy Cullen hadn't had a winner for over a decade before the nine-year-old beat Johnston's Best on his local track at Sligo and the runner-up boosted the form when scoring at Ballinrobe on Tuesday. He found 2m just short of his best when narrowly beaten into third at Down Royal subsequently and Davy Russell can see him back in the winner's enclosure. The Two Jays was badly impeded and pulled up in that Sligo event but had earlier beat Johnston's Best on the same track so he may prove the main threat.
