Verdict

Catleen has done better over longer trips and has gone up 9lb for her latest success at Leopardstown while stablemate Vast Consumption appears to need very testing conditions to show her best and she been raised 13lb for her victory over 3m here in February. THE WAY WE WERE was making his handicap debut when narrowly beaten by today's rival Steel Park at Leopardstown last month and, as the third home Jenari has won subsequently, the form looks strong enough for him to go one better from just 3lb higher. A P McCoy prefers him to Kandari but Much Acclaimed could pose a threat despite a long absence as he is a very progressive hurdler on a fair mark who will be suited by the trip and ground conditions. Darwins Fox makes his handicap debut from a high mark in this very tough contest as does the four-year-old Ozeta, a Listed winner in France who wouldn't be taking on his elders unless thought to have a decent chance.
