In depth
Verdict
Sunnyvilla reappeared here last November to score over the trip but is 22lb higher having won at Fairyhouse in February. He still has scope but so does JENNY FLEX (NAP), who makes her handicap debut after a convincing victory on just her third start over fences at Downpatrick. Room To Roam gained his first success over fences with a convincing victory at Sligo and a similar effort will see him in the firing-line. Bonnie Kellie may have won at Punchestown in April but for a last-fence fall and was in touch when unseating three out on last month's return at Roscommon.
