Verdict

A chance is taken on A SNOW WHITE PARK, who ran well at this course earlier in the season and should be suited by the step back up in trip. Pourquoi Poi is still relatively unexposed after just a couple of runs in this sphere and rates the main danger, while Intense Approach is well treated if able to keep any jumping mistakes to a minimum.

8	Debut winner over hurdles. Winless since but shaped with encouragement when runner-up in maiden chase at this course in May and in handicap at Wexford in July, chasing home Giant Haystacks on latter occasion. Let down by jumping last time but obvious claims if bouncing back. 1st Pick 8 A Snow White Park (Ire) Jockey: D. E. Mullins Trainer: Ms Margaret Mullins, Ireland J: D. E.

10	Off the mark in 2½m handicap hurdle at Punchestown under Jack Kennedy last season. Good efforts this season when placed in 25f handicap chase at Punchestown in June and 14-runner extended 2½m handicap hurdle at Sligo last month. Below form in cheekpieces last time but still unexposed as a chaser. 2nd Pick 10 Pourquoi Poi (Ire) Jockey: D. King Trainer: Paul W. Flynn, Ireland J: D. King T: Paul W. Flynn, Ireland	98	-	-	-	23%

1	Useful winning hurdler/chaser at his best. Stable back in better form of late and showed clear signs of a revival when 8½ lengths sixth of 8 to Rexem at Kilbeggan, though was typically let down by his jumping when it mattered. Claims if avoiding errors and building on that effort. 3rd Pick 1 Intense Approach Jockey: Alex Harvey Trainer: John Mcconnell, Ireland J: Alex Harvey T: John Mcconnell, Ireland	100	-	-	-	17%
