Verdict
On the back of a cracking effort in a major handicap on the Flat last month, NURBURGRING is likely to prove hard to beat in his bid to make it fifth time lucky over fences. He also put in a very good shift on his latest start in this sphere at the Cheltenham Festival and now finds himself in more shallow waters. Amanha, who made a winning chase debut at Tramore, gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of likely improver Royal Eagle.

VerdictSmart hurdler. Promising novice chaser, finishing fourth of 19 in a Grade 2 novices' handicap at the Cheltenham Festival on latest start in this sphere in March. Went close in a Royal Ascot handicap on the Flat last month and he's very much the one to beat. - 4. AmanhaJ: Patrick O'HanlonT: Dermot Anthony McLoughlin, IrelandF: 7344010-1

VerdictFairly useful chaser. 11/2, career best when winning 5-runner novice chase at Tramore (15.6f, good to soft) on debut over fences 48 days ago, soon clear. This is tougher, but she has clearly taken well to fences.

VerdictFairly useful chaser. 2/1, good third of 15 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (24.5f, good) 13 days ago, running on. Switches from hurdles to chase. Should give a good account, but he faces a pretty tall order on these terms.

VerdictUseful chaser. Latest win in chase at Thurles in February. 15 lengths last of 5 to Kalif Du Berlais in Maghull Novices' Chase (12/1) at Aintree (15.8f, good) 104 days ago. Couldn't rule out, for all that, strictly speaking, he shouldn't beat Nurburgring on these terms.- Unnamed Favourite

VerdictFairly useful hurdler. Fairly useful winner at 13f on the Flat. Fifth of 13 in novice chase (5/2) at Tipperary (19.7f, good to soft) on debut over fences 17 days ago. Should improve with that experience to draw upon here.
