Age: 6|  Weight: 11-7| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| BF
Fairly useful winner at 19f over hurdles who shaped as if better for the run, back from 8 months off, when sixth of 13 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (16.2f, soft, 5/2) on debut over fences 22 days ago. Back up in trip. Should be more to come in this sphere.

Fair hurdler. 25/1, sixth of 9 in novice chase at this course (20.2f, heavy) 20 days ago. Should have more to offer over fences.

Fair hurdler. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Well-beaten fifth of 6 to Echoing Silence in listed hurdle at Punchestown (19f, heavy, 12/1) 24 days ago. Stable in good form and warrants respect on chase debut.

Forecasts

Gaoth Chuil (13/8), Karamoja (10/3), The Great Nudie (5/1), Birmingham Alabama (7/1), Magic McColgan (8/1), Sainte Tartare (10/1), Neon Diamond (12/1), Honey Come Quick (14/1)

Verdict

GAOTH CHUIL hasn't been seen since the summer but has unfinished business over fences and can get off the mark here. Karamoja and Birmingham Alabama look the likeliest dangers.
