Verdict
My Friend The Wind has another go at chasing after landing a handicap hurdle here last month and can race from 6lb lower. He had Glenmalure Lodge around seven lengths behind and the latter pulled up on his only start over the bigger obstacles. FATHER JED, runner-up in this in 2021, likes it around here and though not in the best of form is taken to bounce back. The veteran Rudy Catrail had been in fine form until jumping poorly at Wexford while any further rain would suit Courting Vickie.
