Getting weight all round, handicap debutant Aa Bee See shouldn't be underestimated in the McManus silks and any market confidence would be worth noting. There are others with better claims on form however and none more so than THE CHURCH GATE, agonisingly denied in his previous two runs. He is versatile and should go well at this trip and may well claim a deserved success now. Simple Steps is noted coming back over hurdles having run well at times this season over fences while Black Kettle showed much more last time at Down Royal and must be taken very seriously as a result. No More Monkeys and Ted Bach are others worthy of consideration in a wide open finale.
