Verdict

FARCLAS has taken well to these big-field handicap chases this season and is still a relative youngster, so looks capable of winning one of these off his current mark. Crossed My Mind is another to consider as he goes for the hat-trick given his stylish win at Navan, while Treacysenniscorthy is another who arrives on the back of a comfortable win, this time at Cork.
