Verdict

CHOSEN SHANT has done all her winning at this track and landed a C&D contest 22 days ago and, though her chase record is inconsistent, she remains well handicapped on her hurdles form despite being up 6 lb. Justicialism showed promise despite not being bred for chasing when third at Cartmel, while L'Amiral Fromentin ran the selection close here last time and should go well again.

6	Three-time course winner, including over this trip 22 days ago in a 14-runner handicap. Up 6 lb for that win though still well handicapped on hurdles form and this looks another good opportunity for her to go well. 1st Pick 6 Chosen Shant (Ire) Jockey: Phillip Enright Trainer: Aengus King, Ireland J: Phillip Enright T: Aengus King, Ireland	100	-	-	-	29%

3	Finished 2nd 3 times in a row over hurdles before third of 5 in a handicap chase at Cartmel 26 days ago. Showed promise despite not being bred for chasing. Down in trip and one to consider. 2nd Pick 3 Justicialism (Ire) Jockey: C. Stone-Walsh Trainer: Noel C. Kelly, Ireland J: C. Stone-Walsh T: Noel C. Kelly, Ireland	98	-	-	-	9%

7	Yet to win but bounced back from poor Roscommon run when second of 14 to Chosen Shant over C&D 22 days ago. Better off at the weights with that one here and a reproduction of that effort will see him go close. 3rd Pick 7 L'amiral Fromentin (Fr) Jockey: D. J. O'keeffe Trainer: P. J. Rothwell, Ireland J: D.
