Verdict

Grangeclare Native went for £125,000 at the sales after scoring at Curraghmore and will be expected to start paying his way soon but JUNGLE JUNCTION is a tough opponent and has a fitness advantage. Jessica Harrington's charge hasn't been beaten far in big fields here and at Navan and can get off the mark. The Sliding Rock looks the second choice of Gordon Elliott's pair but looks one for the future as does Liz Doyle's Farmix, who has a chaser's pedigree.
