Verdict
KAVANAGH showed the benefit of an opening run at Punchestown with an excellent fourth behind Bishopsfurze at the Festival last month and normal improvement will see him difficult to beat here. Lady Chatterbox didn't perform badly in mid-division on that occasion but there is little to suggest she can reverse the form. Of the newcomers, Princess Gaia, a full sister to the useful hurdler Voler La Vedette, may prove the pick.
