In depth
Verdict
It's a long time since Chellah ran second to Carrigmartin at Naas and she may just need the run. Isourbell is another with an absence to overcome after a poor effort at Navan in January and she appears to do best on ground with some give. ONZO MOR has yet to reach a place in four starts over fences but has improved over hurdles recently and arrives here on a very lenient mark and Denis Cullen's grey can take this. Mcswynes Bay is better over further while Best Of Bocelli looks high enough in the weights after ten unplaced runs over fences.
