Likely to be popular in the market from a yard that have had four winners in the last two days. More progress expected from his Grade 3 chase third earlier in the month.
Won a handicap hurdle at Navan last month but yet to win a chase contest in 10 starts though has placed in 50% of them. Another positive performance on the cards.
Prone to the odd mistake and is still without a win in six chase starts. Yard have had six winners and 13 place positions from 48 runners in the last two days.
Has failed to build on a promising chasing debut in May subsequently well beaten in three starts since. Yard have had six winners and 13 place positions from 48 runners in the last two days. Others preferred.
Promising fourth of 10 though beaten 27L on chasing debut behind Al Boum Photo at Navan last month. Yard among the winners over the last two days and not one to dismiss easily.
Forecasts
Balbir Du Mathan (7/4), Montana Belle (11/4), Surf Instructor (9/2), Notwhatiam (7/1), Ballela Boy (8/1), Milsean (10/1)
The front-running tactics of Balbir Du Mathan and Milsean will be beneficial to the Henry De Bromhead-trained MONTANA BELLE who has been punching above his weight in two Grade 3 contests following a promising chasing debut win at Galway in September while stablemate Surf Instructor and the gallant Balbir Du Mathan can hit the frame.
