Verdict
A low-grade handicap in which Uknowcarty is likely to attract support after showing progressive form though he was beaten 12l into second last time. Ever So Cool scored for Dan Skelton in the UK and ran well enough at Fairyhouse last time to get into contention while dual hurdles winner Hidden Dilemma reverts to hurdles after a couple of moderate runs over fences. Nathaniel's Dream is 0-18 and did better when stepped up to 3m last time but a chance is taken with STANSFIELD. Paul Traynor's charge has been mixing hurdles and fences and reverts to the smaller obstacles on a 20lb lower mark with Shane Fitzgerald's claim a bonus. Lady L'lerom would have a chance if getting a run.
