7/4
Useful performer over hurdles and his two most recent outings over fences including at Fairyhouse last month. Steps up in trip here (pulled up on sole hurdles start over this distance) but a strong chance if recent jumping errors are behind him.

8/15
Impressive winner of two of his first three rules outings and best effort over fences came when finishing runner-up to Bachasson on his penultimate start over this C&D. Well held in a valuable handicap at Navan since but strong chance of breaking his chasing duck in this.

Winner on the AW at Kempton for his sole career success back in 2012. Ran well on his first outing over hurdles and only his second in total since December 2015 when fourth at Navan last month but set a tough test for his chasing debut.

Forecasts

General Principle (8/15), Dicosimo (7/4), Double Scores (3/1), Cappacurry Zak (10/1), Cloudy Morning (25/1), Theturnofthesun (25/1)

Verdict

GENERAL PRINCIPLE has been running well in the main over fences this season and can build on his promising second on his penultimate outing by taking this seven runner beginners event. The selection represents top connections here and can get the better of Dicosimo who was rated slightly higher than the selection over hurdles but who's jumping has been letting him down over fences recently while Cappacurry Zak can put in another good effort this season by claiming third ahead of Double Scores.
