In depth
Verdict
The chaser Imperial Shabra has only won three times in 57 career starts but reverts to hurdling on a very fair mark and is one to keep an eye on. What An Flyer landed a Cork maiden when coming from an unpromising position but now looks a few pounds high while Point The Toes is probably in the handicapper's grip after his three victories late last summer. Benefitthewest gained a C&D victory last summer but hasn't run since August and prefers fast ground while Masked Phantom is still a maiden and has had enough chances. CLOUGHMILE is better known as a chaser these days but ran a cracking race over timber behind Dedigout at Fairyhouse and the winner followed-up at the Punchestown Festival. That form looks good enough for Mick Hourigan's charge to defy his big weight here.
