Verdict
A winner in a similar grade at Clonmel last month, FENWAY PARK can follow up. Although that race was over an extended 2m, the Andrew McNamara-trained gelding has form over this longer trip and looks well treated at the weights. The son of Malinas is also proven on testing ground and appears to have plenty going for him. Rocky's Howya also comes into this race on the back of a win. Also successful in claiming company last time, the Declan Queally-trained 10-year-old is likely to attempt to make all. Noble Birth is best in on official ratings but will need to step up on recent form.
Expert View Verdict
FENWAY PARK can follow up on his recent win at the same level. He had been struggling over fences previously but a return to this discipline seems to have sparked him into life and he is well treated getting lumps of weight from his main rivals. Rocky's Howya also won a claimer recently and the multiple point winner should be suited by this stamina test. He can pose the biggest challenge ahead of veteran Noble Birth whose revival hopes rest on the addition of blinkers down in class.
