This is complicated by Riviere D'etel being engaged at Navan yesterday where she was expected to win. In her likely absence CONCERTISTA will be at short odds to make a successful chasing debut having scored at Grade 2 level over timber and been placed in the mares' championship races in the spring. She's joined by stable companion Dolcita, runner-up to her in the Dawn Run at Cheltenham last year and back in the yard after disappointing in England. Robinnia also goes for the yard and she's already won twice at a lower level over fences. Smart hurdler Jeremys Flame has had six starts over fences and her jumping has improved though Magic Daze looks more of a threat after a superb round of jumping when making all over the course and distance.
