8/1

Fairly useful chaser. Fourth of 6 in novice chase (80/1) at Thurles (22f, soft) 21 days ago. That was a fair effort but one or two of these are more appealing.

2/1

Big Debates (2/1), Railway Hurricane (2/1), Stand Off (7/2), Daphne Moon (8/1), La Chanteuse (12/1), Young Jack Yates (18/1), Elite Charboniere (66/1)

BIG DEBATES run of good form came to a grinding halt in a handicap hurdle at Gowran last month, but it would be no surprise to see this 9-y-o bounce back returned to this sphere. He shades preference ahead of Railway Hurricane, who stepped up on his previous efforts over fences when runner-up at Fontwell and will be a big threat if able to build on that here. Stand Off also merits respect.
