33/1
Confirmed chase debut promise when landing a Down Royal maiden (16.2f) in January. Looked sure to play a part when falling last at Leopardstown (17f) in March and whilst he may do better still in this sphere, this a tough ask on these terms.

1/3
Smart chaser who wasn't disgraced when ninth in the Galway Plate and made most of good opportunity to score on the level at Killarney (16.8f) 4 days ago. Serious claims back over fences.

7/2
Consistent, useful chaser who again ran well when third of 20 in handicap chase (11/2) at Galway (22.5f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Drop in trip will hold no fears and fancied to be thereabouts.

14/1
Useful chaser. 11/2, made mistakes and folded as if amiss when pulled up in handicap chase at Punchestown (2m) in May. Record has become distinctly patchy and he's tough to assess on balance.

20/1
Fair veteran chaser. Thirty one runs since last win in 2017. Creditable third of 9 in handicap chase at Killarney (17f, good to soft, 9/1) 3 days ago. Likely to come up short again in this company.

Forecasts

Cape Gentleman (1/3), Fan De Blues (7/2), Exit Poll (5/1), For Everyone (12/1), Grand Bornand (14/1), Stormey (20/1), Bythesametoken (33/1), Eddies Pride (100/1)

Verdict

Having shaped better than the bare result in the Galway Plate on his penultimate start, CAPE GENTLEMAN set himself up nicely for this with success on the level at Killarney 4 days ago and he looks the one to beat on these terms. The consistent Fan de Blues and Exit Poll can give him most to think about.
