Bog War is the only course and distance winner in the line-up but it's a long time since he showed any real form. Soir De Chantenay, a dual winner on testing ground in France, has produced one good run for Gavin Crowell and has raced in better company than this so is one to keep an eye on. Roachdale House has been in good form and though 6lb higher than his Sligo victory he looks to have every chance, though FIESOLE (NAP) looks the one to be on. Eoin Doyle's charge was in excellent form over timber in the spring and has continued in the same vein on the level having won two of his three starts. He looks much better than a 110-rated handicapper and can prove it here. Neddyvaughan won over fences at Sligo and is better handicapped over timber but the main threat looks to be Kilkeaskins First, who made all for a facile
