Verdict

Bosco Di Alco has won a bumper and scored over hurdles around here but is still a maiden over fences. GRAINEYHILL would probably have won but for falling at the last at Gowran before a good run at Punchestown so looks the one to be on though Frankly All Talk, a novice chase winner at Clonmel in February and fit from a run over hurdles at Tipperary, looks a threat. I'm An Izz Wizz is at the veteran stage but has been running well all summer while Guided By You ran very well at Downpatrick though that was over 2m3f and Jurby has never won over fences though arrives in top form having scored over timber at Galway.
