Verdict

FITZHENRY had issues with his jumping prior to finishing a close second at Punchestown last time out and a repeat of that effort can see him take this competitive handicap chase. The selection is likely to have been well schooled since that outing and he is taken to get the better of Flemenstorm who can put a fall last time out behind him by claiming second today while Route's Choice can claim third today.
