Verdict
The veteran Spancil Hill has been here twice and won both over fences and is 11lb lower over hurdles. ISHAN (NAP) has gone up 9lb for beating Killinure Lass just over two lengths at Punchestownand the latter should have a chance of reversing the form on 6lb better terms but the winner was convincing and looks capable of better so gets the vote. Infinity Tower showed his first sign of form in first-time cheekpieces at Navan while Galway winner Royal Rhythm would have a chance if the ground eases as he's done best in heavy conditions. King Ferdinand has been chasing but won over hurdles when trained in the UK.
