Verdict
Imperial Way has a penalty for his bumper victory at Wexford but has experience over hurdles having run well for a long way at Leopardstown last December. Informationisking has joined Enda Bolger after landing a Towcester bumper for Alan King back in February of last year. He should make a staying chaser in time and Barry Geraghty rides him rather then the owner's Manger Et Trotter. Beyond The Law looked a likely future winner when runner-up over the minimum at Gowran and led for a long way over this trip at Punchestown before weakening quickly. Mount Hanover was outpaced over the minimum at Wexford but this looks a much more suitable trip. BACK BAR was unlucky not to win a point at Rathcannon a year ago but was beaten at odds-on in both bumper starts. This will be much more to his taste and he can make a successful start over timber.
