Many of these arrive here in good form, but DULHALLOW TORNADO has progressed nicely from point-to-points to run in, and win, hunter chases recently. He has to concede weight all round but has form under rules, which is more than can be said for most of these, and won't have any issues getting the trip. In a relatively open race, Ballybane and Velvet Cognac, both point-to-point winners last time out, are others to consider.
