Chelseas Friend has found her form having completed a double over longer trips though a 7lb rise for a neck victory at Kilbeggan looks harsh. Amlad, three-times a Flat winner, is 0-8 over hurdles though ran well at Down Royal last time while Repeat That returned from a spell between the flags to score at Bellewstown on just his fifth start over timber. Rubiana is 12lb lower than over fences but Charlie Bit Me has never run over a trip this far. NUTTORRIDGE has been well supported in both starts in handicaps but has come up against well handicapped winners. He didn't look suited to front-running last time and ridden with more restraint can gain his first success.
