Verdict
This looks a warm race of its type with marginal preference for SLADE STEEL, who was brought down through no fault of his own at Punchestown having finished runner-up on his previous 3 tries over fences. Wingmen is the obvious danger on form, though it will be interesting to see what Spread Boss Ted can do over the larger obstacles.

VerdictUseful winner at 20f over hurdles. Creditable 11¾ lengths sixth of 10 to Maxxum in Ballybin Hurdle (17/2) at Fairyhouse (20f, soft). Off 9 months. Makes chase debut (fell sole start in points) and he's built for the larger obstacles.
