Verdict

The Paul Nolan-trained CRAZYHEART is winner of two of his 10 starts over the larger obstacles and has been running with great credit in a number of contests since March including a solid second of six behind Littlestickarubarb at Cork over a similar trip last month. The Alhaarth gelding can see off any potential challenge from the Gordon Elliott-trained Veinard for jockey Brian Hayes and distance winner Presenting Mahler
