Glen Warrior gets the confident vote with General Jake and Apadi heading the list of dangers. The selection was a good second on his chasing debut behind The Extra Man. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. General Jake rates the main danger he was a fair sort between the flags but he has no experience of these stiffer regulation fences and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Apadi ran well here on here on Saturday when beaten a short head in a hurdle behind Sovereign State. He is sure to have been well schooled for this his chasing debut and he has definite place claims. Of the remainder King Of The Castle was a fair second behind Full Irish last time and this looks easier but for the winner we return to the more consistent Glen Warrior.
