Trainer Charlie Longsdon is in excellent form currently and his MONBEG CHARMER can make a winning chase debut over 2m7f today. The selection ran to a decent level over hurdles and while he disappointed when upped in grade this point-to-point winner is likely to be better over fences. Ballymalin ran well in a Grade 1 contest the selection was pulled up in in last time out and this four time hurdles winner can claim third on chase debut while Knight Of Noir, who has four chase outings to his name already can take third.
