Verdict
FRANCISCAN ROCK has been keeping good company over hurdles and could appreciate reverting to fences in this grade. There was plenty to like about his runner-up spot over flights in the BetMGM Cup at the Cheltenham Festival. When last seen in beginners' chases at Gowran Park and Thurles in 2025, he posted third places and that form has been franked. Orkneys Jack is a point-to-point graduate that could go nicely. He won 'between the flags' at Ballingarry and there was merit in his third place on chasing debut over a shorter trip at this track. Charlie Luciano has shown enough to be involved and ought to be pitching for prize money, while Kevin's Pride isn't out of it.
Expert View Verdict
FRANCISCAN ROCK is yet to match his hurdles form over fences but he reached a high level in that discipline and still sets a clear standard here. He's not fully exposed in chases and will have his optimum conditions of 3m on good ground so should outclass this line up. Point winner Orkneys Jack shaped well here on his chase debut and ought to relish this step up in trip. He can chase the selection home ahead of the largely consistent if a touch frustrating Scalpnagoon who has his stamina to prove.
