Verdict

LEITRIM LAD (1) good winner at last start. Has had four Steeplechase runs for two wins and a placing. The gelding has won three times on the track. He should be winning this. AL'S RED ZED (4) has run two placings this time in albeit distant each time. He is a quinella and trifecta must in this field. UNCLE CHARLIE (7) was gifted the win two starts ago here when he was the lone runner left in the race after chaos at one fence a lap out. Placed at next start so confidence is back. Cannot be overlooked here. JAKAMA KRYSTAL (9) has been twice placed here. Place and first four chance in this field. LOCHWINNOCH (3) is yet to miss the top three as a Steeplechaser tellingly. Sleeper here no matter the footing.
