Having shaped like a non-stayer in the Ulster National last month, SLANAGAIBHGOLEIR is fancied to continue his good work over fences with Cobden taking over returned to a more suitable trip. He can double his tally at the expense of Tommy's Oscar, who has been in good order of late and can have his latest effort in Grade 2 company ignored. Toothless has found one too strong in 5 of his 8 starts over fences and can add another placing to his CV here.
