Verdict
SHES SOME DOLL has been in the mix on recent starts, is the only course and distance winner on show and Buckley's 5lb claim is a plus. Trip and ground are fine. Grangeclare Native shaped well at Downpatrick on a first start of 2022, improving plenty on previous chase starts. Hopefully he'll come on again and is one to note. Shantou Sisu ran well at Downpatrick on a first start over fences since 2020 and a similar effort would bring him into calculations, along with the vastly experienced Bitview Colin, who has no secrets from the handicapper but is usually on the premises in such contests. Singing Banjo and Bolbec are also respected in an open race.
