Verdict
The top pair are penalised for victories on the Flat while Derrinlaur Bill and BANNTOWN GIRL have been successful in bumpers. The latter looked a nice prospect at Roscommon and Paul Townend is a positive booking. Urabamba has been well supported for his last three starts and appeared to enjoy being stepping up to 2m3f at Downpatrick last time. Shamiyan showed some hurdling potential at Cork but Derridae ran a shocker over 2m4f at Kilbeggan after a much better run over this trip at Navan.
