Verdict
Winning bumper and hurdler ADAMANTLY CHOSEN finished a close fourth in a Grade B handicap hurdle at Punchestown in April and started favourite for the Galway Hurdle but didn't come up to scratch. He makes his chasing debut as does Grand Roi, a Grade 2 winner over timber in 2020 though not quite in that kind of form earlier this year. Watch House Cross, a winner between the flags and over hurdles, started odds-on for his chasing bow at Kilbeggan but broke blood vessels so may be best watched here. Mattie's Mountain was engaged in the 4.10 here yesterday.
