Isourbell jumped well enough on her chasing bow behind Lady Hillingdon at Killarney and holds the more experienced Our Symphony on that evidence. She can go well here while Tony Martin will have Hegrid primed after his recent runs on the flat and over hurdles at Killarney which followed a long break. Taking Stock is related to numerous winners over jumps and looks a nice type for John Kiely. He easily landed a Killarney maiden over hurdles in June and can make his mark over the bigger obstacles. QUESTIONS ANSWERED likes plenty of give in the ground as he demonstrated in his three victories over timber last season for which a rise in the ratings of 31lb demonstrated his progress. He's still a youngster for chasing and looks to have a bright future.
