Verdict

It's High Time still had every chance when falling three out in the race won by Chieftain's Choice over course and distance three weeks ago. Central Flame eventually finished second in that contest and there may not be much between the pair today if both complete. Dean's Walk was beaten in a three-horse race last time and is becoming expensive to follow but This Thyne Judy showed a bit more last time and could be interesting. ANIKNAM was sent to Punchestown for a Grade 1 bumper in April and wasn't disgraced. He'll take all the beating in this if translating that form to hurdles.
