Verdict

CHILTERN HILLS is bred to be a staying jumper so Willie Mullins has done well to get a bumper out of her. She should do much better in this sphere and her trainer has found a good opportunity for her to make a winning start over timber. Miradane has some decent form over hurdles having finished fourth in a decent maiden at Cork in March though he'll need to improve while Moby Dick is still a maiden on the Flat and over timber though he followed a very promising introduction over hurdles at Limerick with an even better run in stronger contest there last month. Countess Salome improved when tackling faster going than she'll face here last time.
