Beau Et Sublime won a maiden hurdle at Roscommon and has the potential to be a decent chaser, especially on quick ground. Winning point-to-pointer Knockraha Boss is another who should do better now tackling fences and Myles Ahead will have learnt plenty from his chasing debut at Punchestown. Show And Go's close fourth at Downpatrick in September puts him in the frame and he'll be better for his reappearance over hurdles. SWANTYKAY has the best form of these and his close third behind He Is Top Class at Thurles in November would probably be good enough, though that was over 2m6f so it's a surprise to see him racing over the minimum trip. Sea's Aria is by Sea The Stars so it will be interesting to see how he gets on over fences.
