Verdict
Charger has been going well over hurdles and his run on the Flat at Galway is best ignored. He's not badly treated and looks one of the more likely winners. Winning bumper Run Along Boy is still a maiden over timber but looked as though his turn wasn't far off with a fine effort over this trip at Kilbeggan last time. He looks sure to go close though Tipper Road wasn't far behind that day and has dropped to a very lowly mark. CADEAUX FAX has had just four runs over timber and is yet to reach a place but he's improved on the Flat recently and reverts to hurdling on such a lowly mark that he gets the nod.
