Verdict
SINGING BANJO, 2-32 in point-to-points, found his form on the banks course at Punchestown in April, completing a double at the Festival on fast ground. He's very leniently treated if he can transfer that form to regulation fences. Railway Muice had a neck to spare over Cash Me Outside at Limerick and, though raised 5lb, can confirm the form and give the selection plenty to think about. Ask And Answer has run poorly over hurdles the last twice but performed well over fences over this track and trip in April.
