Verdict

WISE OLD OWL has mainly jumped well in his five starts over fences and thoroughly deserved his victory over what looked a strong field at Listowel. He has the potential to do better and may prove too strong for Dream Champion, twice a winner over timber recently but successful only once in 16 starts over fences. Bronte Boy was gaining his first victory in 15 chase runs when successful at Ballinrobe and Fairwood Bob may be more of a threat. Paul Rothwell's charge was well beaten over hurdles last time but his four efforts over fences, including a convincing victory here in May, point to his chances.
