In depth

Verdict

Ainm Spartacus has shown little over hurdles and on the Flat recently while Tulsa Jack was beaten a long way on his chasing bow at Ballinrobe last week despite starting favourite. He should do better as should Call Rog, who probably needs further. Kilcarry Bridge has failed to finish in three of his last four starts over fences and has been beaten a long way over hurdles after completing a double in May. He's good enough to win this at his best but SIZING SOLUTION looks the safer option. Jim Dreaper's charge, a winning point-to-pointer and hurdler, has been placed in all five starts over regulation fences and though he's another who could do with a longer trip he's a sound jumper and strong galloper so should have enough pace.
