Verdict
Old Chap won here in August on good ground and ran very well in softer conditions at Killarney when unlucky not to reach a place. Celine Man didn't show much until coming in for support when sent to Fakenham in March though was well beaten into second. MICK CHARLIE (NAP) has returned from a very long break in good form and an 8lb rise for his recent Fairyhouse victory doesn't seem enough to prevent a double. Drumcliff has won a point-to-point, a bumper and three times over fences but is 0-11 over hurdles.
