Verdict
Campeador fell three times in eight starts over hurdles and went at the second on his chasing bow at Navan so is best watched for now. His stable companion Roaring Bull also came to grief twice over timber but managed to get round on his debut over fences on the same track and will be better for the experience. Judkin, a winning point-to-pointer and bumper, was beaten a distance on his chasing debut at Naas while Sanibel Island is unplaced in four starts over the bigger obstacles and Castafiore Park, a dual hurdles winner in the spring, hasn't shown much in her two starts over fences. Indian Monsoon and PARIS TEXAS both make their chasing debuts. The former would be interesting if attracting support but the latter has a fine pedigree for jumping fences and gets the nod.
