Campeador^h²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Mark Walsh| T: G Elliott| D

9/10

Accident-prone gelding was a winner of a Fairyhouse beginners chase last month getting off the mark at the second time of asking over the larger obstacles.

Form: F/1F3-F1

Articulum^t²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: D J Mullins| T: T O'Brien| C| D

1/1

Appeared to take to fences well when finishing second of 12 behind Getabird on chasing debut at Punchestown last month. Course winner that has also won over this trip can prove to be the biggest danger to Campeador.

Form: P4247-2

Muroor⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: C D Maxwell| T: T G McCourt

22/1

Winner of two of his 19 starts over hurdles gaining a modest mark of 104. Stiff task on chasing introduction.

Form: D15169

Forecasts

Campeador (9/10), Articulum (1/1), Muroor (22/1)

Mistakes over hurdles and the larger obstacles possibly pose the biggest threat to CAMPEADOR landing the spoils on his third start over fences and following a win at Fairyhouse last month. Articulum can take advantage of any shortcomings from Campeador, but may have to settle for the runner-up prize.
