In depth
Verdict
OUR JERRY (NAP) hadn't run since 2015 when runner-up at Ayr last month. He never looked like winning that day but should have come on markedly for the run and can go one better under the experienced Tom Hamilton. Still Alive is an obvious threat after his comfortable victory at Thurles a fortnight ago though he's 7lb higher. Analyse That was 7lb behind in that latter contest so should get closer on the revised terms while Dark Outsider, six times a winner over fences, is 13lb lower over hurdles where he remains a maiden after 13 starts. Galuppi ran his best race for a very long time at Thurles last month and would have to be considered if in the same kind of form.
