13/2

Useful chaser. Latest win in chase at Wexford in August. 9/2, yet to be asked for effort when fell in Kerry National at Listowel (23.8f, good to soft) 25 days ago. That's the second time he's failed to complete in 5 chases so he comes with risks.

Weveallbeencaught (11/2), You Oughta Know (13/2), Boston Rover (7/1), Talk In The Park (15/2), Aspurofthemoment (8/1), Pride Of Place (8/1), Nara (11/1), Will Do (12/1), Sea Music (12/1), French Dynamite (16/1), Yeats Star (16/1), Yeah Man (16/1), Watch The Weather (16/1), In Excelsis Deo (20/1), Arctic Fly (22/1), Drumgill (22/1)

BOSTON ROVER has made rapid strides over fences and can make light of a 9 lb rise for Gowran and provide Gordon Elliott with a third win in this since 2020. Weveallbeencaught made a positive start for Eric McNamara when fourth at Listowel last month and could make a bold bid to provide his trainer with a second successive Munster National. Talk In The Park, Pride of Place and Arctic Fly are others who could have a say in a typically competitive renewal.
