NOTLONGTILLMAY proved that this trip is well within his range when scoring in good style over C&D last month and, with the promise of better to come from this 7-y-o, he is taken to make it 3-3 over fences. He certainly won't have things all his own way, with Drumbear feared greatly on the back of his chase debut success at Limerick, while both Halo des Obeaux and Bear Ghylls are probably capable of better than they have so far shown in this sphere.
