Tintown Robin has won twice over hurdles around here and makes his chasing debut as does Nimby, a bumper and hurdles winner for Dan Skelton, who has changed stables. Countess Cathleen has a hurdles victory on heavy ground around here to her credit while Batcio's third place over fences at Wexford would put him in the picture though he's run poorly in two other starts over the bigger obstacles. Gavin Cromwell will ensure MUTADAFFEQ has been well schooled and the four-times Flat winner has a hurdles victory to his credit so gets the vote in a tricky contest.
