In depth
Verdict
Kitten Rock has won twice over hurdles around here and has generally competed at a higher level over fences. BLACK SAMURAI (NAP) has really found his form in recent weeks, following a comfortable victory over 2m3f here with an even better performance at Wexford. He's up 9lb but can defy the extra and complete a hat-trick. Hell On Earth has had ten starts over fences and never won while Four Country Roads has only won between the flags, a remark that also applies to My First Symphony, who was beaten a long way into second at Wexford when Olive D'Haguenet was just behind.
