Verdict
ALL CLASS went up an incredible 22lb after scoring easily over fences at Punchestown then connections took advantage of a lower hurdles mark at Navan. She's won on heavy ground and still looks well handicapped. Sil Ver Klass had Nelly's Money two lengths behind when scoring at Fairyhouse last month but the runner-up is 4lb better off and should be better suited by the conditions. Espion Du Chenet was a very close third and has won around here so could come out best of the trio this time. That's Lifebuoy comes here with a 7lb penalty after ploughing through the Gowran mud to score on Saturday while Western Sea has won twice around here.
