Verdict

Inishturk has shown improved form since going between the flags and has to be considered in this decent event for the prize money on offer but the finish looks likely to be between WEE FLY and Teeton Bollinger, with preference for the former. The selection makes her rules debut today but the eight-year-old has shown a decent level of form in point-to-points, winning her last two, and she looks worth siding with on her first start over regulation fences for Ross Oliver and Polly Gundry. David Phelan's Irish import Flowersoftherarest came good on his British debut in a point earlier this month and has to be considered, while Jilted Lover has become expensive to follow in points and looks best watched. Joan Tice's Teeton Bollinger ran well in a hunter chase at Folkestone when last seen in the grade last year and has been running well in points of late so he rates the main danger to Wee Fly, who can make a winning debut over regulation fences.
