Verdict

This will take some getting but the trip shouldn't be a problem for Ipsos Du Berlais, who makes his handicap debut over fences on a 6lb lower mark than over timber. Ruby Walsh has chosen Rockyaboya over Themoonandsixpence but, though his mount is progressive, he's only had two starts over fences. Wise Oscar won't mind the ground nor marathon trip but he's now on his highest-ever mark while the veteran Bob Lingo hasn't been running well, though he's 4lb lower than when landing last year's Galway Plate. TARQUINIUS hasn't run since the Grand National but he was in excellent form at this time a year ago and, in the hope he's fit enough, he's handed the vote in a very tough contest.
