Verdict

Winning point-to-pointer Crosshue Boy has done well over shorter trips in bumpers and should have the stamina for this though INCITATUM will take some beating. He hasn't been beaten far in two handicaps recently and would have finished closer to Federici at Fairyhouse but for a last-flight error. High Nellie has been unable to get into the action over shorter trips so should find this to her liking while Legal Lord, who scored between the flags in February, wasn't suited by a fast-ground bumper at Kilbeggan. Laces Out finished runner-up in a point at Ballyarthur last month and is one to note on his debut under Rules.
