LE MALIN performed about as well as could've been expected at the Cheltenham Festival in March and he is appealing now pitched into a handicap chase for the first time off a potentially handy mark. Next on the list is Top Line Tommy, who should give a good account back in this sphere following a spin over hurdles last time. Iridescent, a winner of his sole chase start at Downpatrick in June, is open to improvement over fences and is also accorded respect.
