Verdict
Wee Small Hours won this a year ago though that was on heavy going so could do with some rain. Goose Man, the winner of a novices' chase here a year ago before following up at Down Royal, is on a 30lb lower mark back over timber and has to be respected while Eviscerating ran his best race over timber so far when a close third at Naas though that was over 2m. LADY WRITER stayed on strongly in a 2m3f maiden at Limerick before stepping up to 3m at Punchestown on Monday where she was always in contention and just failed to quicken after the last. This trip looks ideal for Denis Hogan's mare and she looks ready to gain her first victory. Lusis Naturea won a Down Royal handicap last August though that was over the minimum trip on fast ground.
