Made his mark as a decent novice last year although he was pulled-up when favourite for the Albert Bartlett at the Festival. Sent chasing after a break he won his first two starts over fences (started favourite both times) beating small fields in novice company. Fell when stepped up into Grade 2 company in November and not seen since although gets a fairly easy task here to get him back into the swing of things.
Has won in point-to-points but was rather in-and-out over hurdles although he did win once. Not shown much of late over hurdles and gets a tough task on his chasing debut.
Really hasn't shown much over hurdles and no surprise to see this point-to-point winner switched to fences quickly. Can't really be fancied though facing this task on her first start under Rules over fences.
Forecasts
Shantou Village (1/5), Red Hanrahan (4/1), Touch Screen (40/1), Moneystown (100/1)
This should be a straightforward test for SHANTOU VILLAGE as he tries to get his chasing career back on track after a fall. Red Hanrahan offers the main opposition on his chasing debut with Touch Screen and Moneystown battling it out for third.
