AFOREMENTIONED is a winning hurdler who has made a positive start over fences and, while he was no match for Doctor Duffy at Kilbeggan last time, there's nothing of that one's calibre in this field, so he should be able to open his account as a chaser. Line Out could trouble him if putting a poor recent display behind him but it's hard to make a case for the remainder.
