Verdict
ASIYA ran poorly at the Curragh a couple of weeks ago but had earlier been in very good form there and at Leopardstown and gets the vote in a race full of jumpers. The versatile Deutschland hasn't been in the best of form but has been competing at a high level and is well in under the race conditions. Montan is a promising chaser who could just need this but Mubrook has been going well over timber and is fit enough as is Whodoyouthink, just touched off in a Grade 3 novice chase at Punchestown recently. Awkward Moment is interesting returning after a very long break and Narima showed some decent early form when joining current connections from France.
