In depth
Verdict
Colin Keane was on board when Muntahez was placed twice earlier this year and his mount ran well over hurdles at Punchestown last week. No Show had been in winning form before a poor run over a mile here last time and can do better but Miss Louise scored over 1m4f at Fairyhouse and that looks her trip. FENNOR CROSS has twice beaten Dunum, who runs earlier, in recent weeks including over a mile here. He's led right on the post for both recent victories so the extra is likely to suit and he can defy a 6lb rise. The veteran Paddytheirishman was a 100/1 chance when third at Navan which is hardly surprising considering he's 0-54.
