In depth
Verdict
Email Rose gained his first victory in eight starts over hurdles here last month, battling on well to get the better of Onlyhuman. He makes his chasing debut and looks a threat to I'M A GAME CHANGER, runner-up to Tornado Flyer in a Navan Grade 3 novices' chase in December and to Polished Steel at Tipperary last month. The latter's stable companion Make My Heart Fly has a victory over fences to her credit, though was beaten a long way at Killarney last time, but three-times hurdles winner Scheu Time is interesting on his chasing debut with Gavin Brouder very good value for his 7lb claim.
