Verdict
Those with experience don't appear to be anything out of the ordinary and the market will be useful in respect of the newcomers. The Flat-bred JUPITER WARNING is the nominal selection ahead of Open Day and Maggie Aron. Gary Moore's runner is out of an unraced mare who is related to plenty of winners and by a sire who's more readily associated with winners on the level than over obstacles. The trainer has a fair strike rate in these contests and the rider plenty of experience in Ireland. Open Day has a more traditional jumper's pedigree and was bought for 50,000 pounds as a yearling. He's related to a bumper winner and merits plenty of respect given his connections. Maggie Aron was only a cheap purchase and she's the first foal of an unraced dam who is related to a bumper winner and useful chaser Arctic Ghost. They appear to be the three most interesting runners on paper and the suggestion is Jupiter Warning.
