FULLY CHARGED can build on his pleasing debut over hurdles finishing second of 12 to Alpine Cobra (Fifth of eight in a Grade 2 contest here yesterday) at Punchestown last month to land the spoils in this contest at the expense of the Willie Mullins-trained Equilibrium who is better than her last effort suggests. The solid and consistent Fou Diligence in first-time cheekpieces can battle for the minor honours with the Liz Doyle-trained Silk Worm and Part Time Affair for trainer Gordon Elliott.
