In depth
Verdict
Sixhandsinmypocket has run some decent races in handicaps but is well exposed and vulnerable to an improver. CHRISCO has started odds-on for both runs in bumpers but hasn't looked like winning. He's bred to be a chaser so he's much more likely to be at home here. Winning point-to-pointer Lisnamult Lad made a promising bumper start at Kelso but then ran poorly at Killarney while One For Lucy, three times a runner-up on good ground in bumpers last summer, may have found the going too tacky on last month's reappearance at Limerick.
