Verdict

Plenty with chances in a competitive race. ENNISKERRY shaped better than the result on his Fairyhouse handicap debut in February and is well worth another chance to show that he's on a workable mark. Bet365 Gold Cup winner Hewick rates a probable big threat off a lower mark back hurdling. Digby and the Charles Byrnes-trained Metersandmasks are also on the shortlist.

  1. ENNISKERRY (IRE)
