Verdict
Grangeclare Native is still penalised for a bumper victory back in 2019 and recent runs over hurdles have been very disappointing. Former stable companion Mr Jackman, a dual bumper winner, looked a nice hurdling prospect when placed twice in the autumn but was well beaten in a bumper for new connections in April. Favori Logique had been chasing until producing his best run to date over hurdles when tackling 2m6f here in May so has to be respected but winning point-to-pointer Getaway Pat hasn't shown much over timber so far. LOOK DONT TOUCH was beaten a head at Punchestown before slightly disappointing when well supported at Down Royal but this looks a good opportunity to put matters right.
