VERDICT: Top Speed was a debut point-to-point winner in 2021 and has useful recent form. He won in a first-time tongue-tie, which is now left off, at Down Royal and being in good form and proven over this distance and on a sound ground, should take beating with race conditions suiting, given he is rated 116 over hurdles. Desert Friend is similarly rated and while capable, is more exposed than the selection and was also well beaten on his recent chase debut. Dual hurdle winner Bonarc ran well enough at Ballinrobe on her reappearance and while she receives plenty weight under her 5lb claimer, might bump into one or two too strong. The Priests Leap was capable in the past but blinkers and cheekpieces have failed to work on recent runs although it is somewhat encouraging connections are persevering. Takarengo, third in the 2020 English Cesarewitch, isn't a natural jumper and was well beaten at Kilbeggan.
