Verdict

HANDSWORTH has made a positive start over fences and appears to have been handed a feasible mark, so he takes preference over Siberian Star, who ran well when third at Thurles a month ago. Time And Times is potentially well in if he can replicate his chasing form back over the smaller obstacles, so he's another one to consider.

  1. HANDSWORTH (IRE)
  2. SIBERIAN STAR
