Verdict
Adenauer was in the process of running his best race over fences when falling in the race won by Shake The Bottle at Limerick. He's the type to make further progress and must be one to consider. Premier Hero, who eventually finished runner-up, has been raised 3lbs and may struggle to contain Edward O'Grady's charge this time. Hey Porter makes his chasing debut after the three required runs and there is no doubt he showed improved form at Tipperary last time while another threat may emerge in the shape of Amy's Song, who has produced easily her best form on good ground and doesn't look overburdened. A chance is taken on BUEN CAMINO, who hasn't always impressed with his attitude but is a useful chaser on his day as he proved with a fine second behind Hidden Present at Gowran in March.
