The ex-French Roi Du Mee made a winning debut over hurdles for Gordon Elliot at Gowran a year ago but hasn't really impressed so far over fences. Definitive Edge will have come on for his chasing debut at Punchestown though a longer trip may help while Fen Game looks as though he needs more experience over fences. QUITO DE LA ROQUE looks a real staying prospects for the chasing ranks and already has three victories to his credit including a point-to-point. He will eventually stay further than this but Colm Murphy should have him primed for a successful debut over the bigger obstacles. Fort George has shown ability when completing safely but his jumping has left plenty to be desired.
