Verdict
Pats Choice gained his only career success over timber here in September and was having only his second start over fences when placed at Clonmel so should improve. MARVEL FAN won over fences in France but has been confined to the Flat and hurdles since arriving here. He isn't the most consistent but a mark of 109 over fences could prove lenient. Truckers Angel, a winner between the flags, came good over timber at Clomel and is another who looks nicely treated for her chasing bow. Know The Game is 9lb higher than when landing a Naas handicap in December, though Ben Harvey's claim is a massive plus and he can get into the mix.
