Best Result has had no experience of regulation fences but scored by 25 lengths in a point at Dromahane recently and could be anything. NORTHER BAY's close third to Archie Boy in a Grade 3 at Ffos Las last November is the best form on offer here and he may have made a winning reappearance at Limerick but for a last-fence blunder which let in Beau Michael. On Your Way is a consistent performer who has only once failed to complete the course in a total of 40 starts over jumps. He's in good form and looks sure to mount a challenge while Coscorrig found the company too hot at Punchestown last time after much better runs at this level.
