Verdict

VICTRIX GALE is 1lb out of the handicap but is still well in over hurdles after landing a Handicap Chase at Limerick last month. She's probably capable of climbing the weights and should complete the double. Corskeagh Royale is another who has been chasing and scored at Ballinrobe last month though he pulled up at Punchestown a week later after an early mistake. Bronte Bay followed a very good run over timber at Punchestown with a poor effort over fences at Kilbeggan and Raz De Maree hasn't progressed as expected after scoring at Cork last March. Caim Hill won on the Flat at Wexford last month and has the form over timber to trouble the selection.
