Verdict
It's difficult to know what to make of Goldmineinthesky, a dual point-to-point winner who completed a hat-trick in a hunter chase at Down Royal. He could be well in here while Shouband will attract support after landing a Thurles handicap in very good style last month though he's up 7lb. De Benno is better handicapped over hurdles and hasn't run since April while Crocodile Dundee has never won a race and was well beaten into third at Wexford. GIVE ME A BREAK (NAP) is still a maiden after ten starts over fences though she's a three-times hurdles winner. She's been competing at a higher level and has shown enough on several occasions to be given a chance from a mark 17lb lower than over timber.
