Verdict

Waaheb almost caught Courtncatcher over 3m at Cork on his first start since winning on the Flat at Limerick in the spring. Dermot Weld's charge seems sure to go well but has to concede 6lb to SEEFOOD, which may just be beyond him. Dessie Hughes' seven-year-old gained a morale-boosting win over fences at Kilbeggan nine days ago and had some decent form over the smaller obstacles last season - he is clearly in good heart at present. Clara Mc Cloud never seems to run a bad race and could be a threat with her mares' allowance but this looks a big ask for Klepht.
