Improved at first time of asking over fences when scoring at Killarney in August and improved on that when second of 5 in Like A Butterfly Novices' Chase (3/1) at Tipperary (19.7f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Should be more to come on switch to handicapping.

Forecasts

Downmexicoway (5/2), Champagne Mahler (10/3), Rebel Gold (6/1), Captains Nephew (8/1), Nas Na Riogh (10/1), Mount Frisco (12/1), The King Of Prs (12/1), West Away (14/1), Drumgill (16/1), The Dasher Conway (16/1), The Banger Doyle (33/1)

DOWNMEXICOWAY has made a positive start over fences and looks fairly treated on his handicap debut here. He makes plenty of appeal. The King of Prs and Champagne Mahler rate the principal dangers.
