    Verdict

    Is Love Alive was having just his second start over fences when a good third to Flaming Dawn here last month though that was over three miles. LORD ADARE has had his ups and downs since turning to fences and didn't get far before impeded at Ballinrobe. His close second to Draycott Place here in March would probably be good enough and he can gain his first success over the bigger obstacles. Pink Coat won three times over hurdles and has every chance of making a decent chaser along with stablemate Off The Charts while the versatile Raydari had some fair form over fences last season and is fit from the Flat.
