oddschecker Verdict
Jack Kennedy looks a significant booking on the Paul Traynor-trained ASTLEY. Third in a handicap chase at Gowran Park last weekend, the gelding reverts to a beginners chase with the champion jockey in the saddle. Given that Kennedy appears to have deserted the Gordon Elliott-trained Down Around in favour of the selection, the hint should be taken. A three-time winner over hurdles, Down Around still has to be respected on only his second start over fences. A faller three out at Sligo recently, Kennedy was on board on that occasion. Point-to-point winner Ring Of Kerry should be noted too.
Prediction: 1st Astley, 2nd Down Around, 3rd Ring Of Kerry
