Verdict

The vote goes to LIKABLE CHANCER, who opened his chase account here in April and he bounced back from a couple of low-key efforts when runner-up at Tipperary last time. The 9-y-o may well have won that day but for a couple of mistakes late on and he could prove hard to peg back if able to cut out the errors. Full Noise got the better of the selection at Downpatrick during the spring and will be a threat if on-song starting out for his new yard. Alexharwill is best of the rest.
