Verdict

TEENAGE KISS couldn't have gone much closer to making a winning chasing debut here recently and having pulled well clear of the remainder that day, Conor O'Dwyer's 5-y-o gets the verdict to go one better. Nastya was fortunate to double her tally over fences at Limerick on return, but she could be the one to offer most resistance, while Astley could show more now handicapping so he rounds off the shortlist in a first-time tongue tie.

6	Much improved stepped up to 3m when winning handicap hurdle here in May and couldn't have gone much closer to following up on chasing debut here (23f, good to soft) just over 3 weeks ago, worn down by a dour stayer and pulling well clear of the remainder.

1	Enhanced a good record when fresh when doubling her tally in 8-runner handicap chase at Limerick (25f, good) a couple of months ago, one losing his rider in front of her and another taking too long to get going from behind. 4 lb rise may leave her vulnerable. 2nd Pick 1 Nastya (Ire) Jockey: D.

5	Modest form at best over hurdles but positive start on both outings over fences in the spring. Well below that level at Down Royal when last seen in May but may show more now handicapping upped in trip. First-time tongue tie goes on. 3rd Pick 5 Astley (Ire) Jockey: Alex Harvey Trainer: Paul Traynor, Ireland J: Alex Harvey T: Paul Traynor, Ireland	99	-	-	-	6%	Scratched
