Verdict
Spacious Sky, withdrawn from a race at Down Royal on Friday night, has each-way claims if turning up but MARCHESE MARCONI has plenty going for him, especially the ground conditions and this trip. His close second in the Irish Cesarewitch in October would be good enough and Sarah O'Brien is his regular partner. The very versatile Plan A has been chasing and Nina Carberry will attempt to exploit his staying powers while Truthwillsetufree is one of the few who hasn't been jumping and his last run over this trip produced his best form for a long time.
