Verdict

BOSTON ROVER has made rapid strides over fences and can make light of a 9 lb rise for Gowran and provide Gordon Elliott with a third win in this since 2020. Weveallbeencaught made a positive start for Eric McNamara when fourth at Listowel last month and could make a bold bid to provide his trainer with a second successive Munster National. Talk In The Park, Pride of Place and Arctic Fly are others who could have a say in a typically competitive renewal.
