Verdict

CHOSEN SHANT looked to win with plenty in hand over fences last time and can exploit her lower hurdle mark here. Pampar Lady may still have some mileage in her own hurdle mark, and she heads the dangers along with Radiator Springs, who looks interesting on just her second start in a handicap. Eye Of A Tiger, Regards To Rose and Wonderful Everyday are others to note in a wide-open event.

18	Thriving mare whose 4 career wins have come at Wexford. Wasn't at all extended to notch her second handicap chase success of the year there last time. Fancied to follow up off a very tempting hurdle mark (now 3 lb lower than over fences). 1st Pick 18 Chosen Shant (Ire) Jockey: Phillip Enright Trainer: Aengus King, Ireland J: Phillip Enright T: Aengus King, Ireland	100	-	-	-	7%

5	Smooth-travelling mare. Highly tried after cosily completing a handicap hurdle hat-trick this time last year. Has seemingly brought along with handicaps in mind over fences and on the Flat so far this season. Could still be some mileage in her mark now back hurdling. 2nd Pick 5 Pampar Lady (Ire) Jockey: E.

2	Low-mileage point winner who was successful on second hurdle start at Clonmel in January. Hasn't been seen since failing to meet expectations in a fairly useful handicap at Punchestown in the spring. Capable of running a big race if back on song following 4 months away, though. 3rd Pick 2 Radiator Springs (Ire) Jockey: D. J. O'keeffe Trainer: Henry De Bromhead, Ireland J: D. J.
