Verdict
Betterthanalright looked to be progressing over fences when last seen in the spring and may have won at Limerick but for unseating his rider at the last. FIERY OSCAR was winning for the sixth time over hurdles at Listowel last time and can revert to fences on a 28lb lower mark so should prove very difficult to beat. Sherika has won between the flags and twice over hurdles but has yet to score over the bigger obstacles so Goodoldhonkytonk looks more of a threat as she hasn't been disgraced in her two starts over fences and makes her handicap debut from a lenient mark.
