14/1

15/2, improved to win 12-runner handicap chase at Tramore (22f, good to soft) 22 days ago by 13 lengths from Natural Breeze. Ought to be in the shake-up despite a 8 lb weights rise.

15/2

Forecasts

Neveradullmoment (9/4), Just Three (3/1), Centurion Steel (15/2), Bocelli's Voice (8/1), Marronstown (9/1), Shantou Show (9/1), King Ferdinand (12/1), Lake Chad (14/1), Natural Breeze (14/1), Macgiloney (16/1), Toofareastiswest (66/1)

Lots with chances but NEVERADULLMOMENT arrives on the back of an impressive hurdling success here and can race off the same mark so gets the vote reverted to fences. Handicap chase debutant Just Three is next on the list with Killarney victor King Ferdinand and Tramore scorer Lake Chad also well in the mix.
