Move Over is preferred to Capybara and Chabrimal Minster. A useful performer in Ireland, Move Over looked to lose his way and was sent across the sea to join the Richard Guest yard. The change of scenery looked to make all the difference as he won at Catterick with the proverbial head-in-chest. The handicapper has had his say about the performance with a 13lb hike but that might not be enough to stop him. Chabrimal Minster has the form on the book to win this. A winner over hurdles over this trip at Carlisle, he loves the ground and according to the trainer, he is still learning at the game at nine years of age. Capybara was last seen here over hurdles. Chasing is his game. Trip and going represent few concerns. Elvis Returns has bits and pieces of hurdles form that suggest ability although his trainer is enduring a lean spell of late. Absuzon has become frustrating to follow. An imposing type, he really should have done much better than he has shown on the racecourse thus far. Move Over was impressive on British debut and he is likely to give another good account of himself on this occasion.
