Gained a deserved win recently at Clonmel having contested some very tough handicaps previously. Has his chance again in a small field contest and likely to give his running.
Unsuited by switch back to hurdles last time and won over C&D around this time last year. Trainer won last year's renewal of this contest and this has likely been the target for some time; claims if he can get back on track.
66/1 sixth behind Sprinter Sacre in last year's Champion Chase and was very game in defeat to well-backed stable companion at Wetherby two starts back. Gained compensation at that course last time with an impressive win and if the cheekpieces have the desired effect and bring out any more improvement, he will be hard to beat
Not shown enough in either of his chase wins to suggest he can get involved in a Grade 3 contest as strong as this and he has a tough task carrying the same weight as some classy types.
C&D winner last time out but needs to prove he can mix it at this level having not contested a race of this class before.
Forecasts
Alisier D'irlande (5/2), Just Cameron (5/2), Pairofbrowneyes (7/2), Clarcam (7/2), Westerners Son (11/1), Smokey Joe Joe (40/1)
JUST CAMERON gets some weight off some decent types and this looks like a shrewd piece of placement from his trainer. Clarcam is a model of consistency but most of his wins have come on better ground than this and he has to concede weight all round. Alisier D'irlande represents last year's winning trainer of this and he will appreciate a return to the larger obstacles.
1. Just Cameron
2. Clarcam
3. Alisier D'irlande
