O'TOOLE is a fascinating chase debutant and a chance is taken that he'll be able to get closer to his smart bumper form in this sphere after a steadily progressive novice hurdling campaign, albeit at a lower level than many expected. Hidden Commander has been a revelation since sent chasing for the Coltherds and should prove a formidable rival, with Castle Rushen also expected to prove a better chaser.
