Verdict

Gavin Cromwell could hold the key to this maiden chase, with IN THE TRENCHES narrowly preferred to Sophia Rose given he finally got his head in front over hurdles recently. Rockonliam is a dual winner over the smaller obstacles and looks another key player.

3	In good form and finally got off the mark in 19f Downpatrick novice hurdle a fortnight ago. Has shown enough over fences to think he can win a race like this, too. 1st Pick 3 In The Trenches Jockey: Keith Donoghue Trainer: Gavin Patrick Cromwell, Ireland J: Keith Donoghue T: Gavin Patrick Cromwell, Ireland	100	-	-	-	19%

14	Fair chaser who ran well back in a handicap when second at Killarney 7 weeks ago, going down fighting. Can surely open her account in this sphere before long. 2nd Pick 14 Sophia Rose (Ire) Jockey: C. Stone-Walsh Trainer: Gavin Patrick Cromwell, Ireland J: C.

10	Made a winning return over hurdles at Listowel last month, looking more professional than has sometimes been the case. Could build on that now chasing and one to consider. 3rd Pick 10 Rockonliam (Ire) Jockey: D. J. O'keeffe Trainer: Henry De Bromhead, Ireland J: D. J.
