Verdict

BACHASSON (NAP) last ran over fences in the 2018 Cheltenham Gold Cup when falling behind Native River. He'd completed a hat-trick to earn his place in the line-up and his subsequent runs over hurdles point to his chances here. He didn't get the best of runs in the Coral Cup a fortnight ago but was only beaten 7 lengths. Discordantly put his jumping problems behind him with a clear-cut victory at Gowran though has to concede 6lb to the selection as does Mortal, who hasn't fulfilled the promise shown when making a successful chasing debut at Fairyhouse. Death Duty looked a cracking chasing prospect when landing the Grade 1 Drinmore on the latter track but that was in December 2017 and he's only had four subsequent starts. The selection's stable companion Bonbon Au Miel has only had two runs since landing a beginners' chase at Navan in January 2018.
