Verdict
Notwhatiam came here last month and gained a surprise but comfortable victory under JJ Slevin for which he's been raised 10lb. This doesn't look much more difficult despite the extra and he should be in the frame. MINE NOW won a handicap here last March and returned to form at Punchestown on New Year's Eve with a narrow defeat by Duke Cass. With his rider's claim again available he can go one better. Wishmoor makes his handicap debut and might just need more experience but Concordin, who was in winning form over fences last spring, arrives in excellent shape having won at Leopardstown in December on just his second start back.
