The Henry De Bromhead-trained GANGSTER can get off the mark at the seventh time of asking here having finished runner-up on three occasion as well as a third place from six starts over the larger obstacles. The trainer has good record in the race winning on two occasions in the last six years including in last years renewal when Three Wise Men won when well backed. Chateau Conti, the Gordon Elliott-trained Morgan and Winter Escape are deserving of consideration.
