Verdict

READ TO RETURN has yet to add to his maiden chase success at Killarney back in October 2023 but he is appealing on the back of a solid recent effort over hurdles at Fairyhouse. The 8-y-o is preferred to Whateys Quest, who did the job well at Limerick and an 11 lb rise may not be enough to debar another bold show from him. Silver King is an each-way player with this step up in trip unikely to be a bad thing.
