Verdict
Allardyce doesn’t really have a chasing pedigree but would have a chance in this on the pick of his hurdles form. Aherlow won over the smaller obstacles at Cork in May while last month’s Tramore second may be the best of those with chasing experience ahead of the one-paced All's Quiet. Joseph O’Brien runs two in this but the four-year-old APPARITION is more interesting than Boston Spray and gets the nod. He is having his 14th race of the year but beat the useful Mitchouka over timber around this time last year and will be hard to beat if transferring that form to fences. Quamino also makes his chasing bow and may be best of the rest as Pillard and Chateauneuf Du Pap have a bit to prove at present.
