DEANERY CHARLIE was unlucky not to finish closer when fourth on his handicap debut at Fairyhouse and while a stiffer test should see him in a better light in due course, he may well prove the answer here, provided that he doesn't again encounter traffic problems. It remains to be seen if Kobalt St Georges will be able to back up his recent chase form now returned to hurdles but he will surely have a major say if he does. Robindevidastar also enters calculations.
