An impressive winner of the Albert Bartlett, MONKFISH has made a seamless transition to chasing this winter, making it 3 from 3 in the Grade 1 Flogas at Leopardstown last month. Open to further progress, Timeform's highest-rated novice chaser is expected to prove very hard to beat. The Big Breakaway may emerge as the chief threat, ahead of Eklat de Rire.
