Verdict

YOULITA appeals as a potential improver now chasing and, with the Byrnes yard in good form, he looks worth siding with in a race where several rivals have already shown jumping frailties or have slight fitness concerns. Tell Us This is a threat if keeping the errors down.

7	Downpatrick maiden hurdle winner last May. Hasn’t built on that in 3 subsequent starts, but it would be no surprise to see him do better now chasing, given he's a winning pointer out of the useful winning chaser Solita. 1st Pick 7 Youlita (Ire) Jockey: P.

6	Fair winner over hurdles. Has been held back by his jumping over fences but ran better than for a while and jumped better than usual when 9¾ lengths promoted second of 16 to Quornofamonday in handicap at Thurles last time. 2nd Pick 6 Tell Us This (Ire) Jockey: Keith Donoghue Trainer: Gavin Patrick Cromwell, Ireland J: Keith Donoghue T: Gavin Patrick Cromwell, Ireland	100	-	-	-	23%

5	Has failed to complete on 2 of his 4 starts in maiden hurdles, but has shown a fair amount of encouragement all the same. Bred to make a chaser and yard already had a winning chasing debutant this month. 3rd Pick 5 Speedy Box (Ire) Jockey: Danny Gilligan Trainer: Ross O'sullivan, Ireland J: Danny Gilligan T: Ross O'sullivan, Ireland	79	-	-	-	6%
