CHAMBORD DU LYS has been an expensive failure in her two starts since arriving from France but should put matters right here. Willie Mullins' mare can be forgiven her opening run after a very long break and was a most unfortunate loser at Fairyhouse last month where she was stopped in her tracks by a blunder at the last. She'll be a short price again but compensation awaits. Mighty Stowaway had looked a certain future winner when twice runner-up over 2m3f but didn't stay three miles at Fairyhouse so should do better here. Harden started a short-priced favourite for a point at Dromahane in April 2015 but ran very poorly and hasn't been seen since though he's now joined Gordon Elliott. Winning point-to-pointer Monbeg Chit Chat should do better when sent over further.
