Verdict
Jaffonnien did well to finish runner-up to Tawaagg at Gowran but was soon beaten at Naas last time after a mistake at the second last. He can go well in this moderate affair though King Lir is one to keep an eye on as he makes his debut over the bigger obstacles as he had some decent form over timber. Otay Kawn has yet to produce the goods over fences though there's still hope for Willie Mullins charge but this can go to OUT NOW. Edward O'Grady's seven-year-old was unbeaten in two starts between the flags and though yet to score over timber he produced some fair efforts and chasing looks more his game. Sounds Of Jupiter didn't run badly on his chasing bow at Gowran and his hurdling form was better than most of these so he should get involved where it matters.
