Verdict

Greenandwhitearmy won this last year but arrived in much better form and is 5lb higher. Gone Racing beat Gotta Getaway over 2m at Tramore but the positions were reversed over this track and trip three weeks ago. DEAUVILLE SOCIETY finished runner-up in that latter event and though still a maiden over timber after 14 starts won't get many better chances. Crimson Chief, who has never won under Rules, has been chasing and reverts to hurdles on a 9lb lower mark. Lusis Naturea, runner-up at Down Royal on Friday, would have to be respected if getting a run from his reserve spot.
