Verdict
Conright Boy reverted to hurdles with a victory at Cork in December and is only 2lb higher. He won a handicap chase over this trip at Navan last March when today's rival Spare Brakes finished second but the latter reversed the form on the same track a couple of weeks later. Kilkeaskins First has been alternating between hurdles and fences but is better handicapped over the bigger obstacles. Dakota Moirette has a strike-rate of 1-34 with his victory coming over four years ago but it's about time CHIEF OF POLICE was winning again. Successful on heavy ground at Limerick last March, he ran well over a trip too far at Punchestown in December and has had a run on the Flat recently.
