Verdict

Although not seen since winning a Limerick 2m3½f Mares' chase in May 2017 the mare LISTEN DEAR can be expected to give a good account of herself here off what looks like a handicap mark. Blast Of Koeman is a model of consistency over fences and was last seen finishing second of 18 beaten a neck in a competitive Punchestown handicap chase in April, the seven-year-old can hit the frame here while C&D winner Calino D'airy and the underrated Three Wise Men can fight for the remaining place.
  1. Listen Dear
  2. Blast Of Koeman
  3. Calino D'Airy
