Even Flight should make a much better chaser than hurdler judging by his performance when chasing home the odds-on Fire Attack at Wexford with the remainder well beaten. Winning point-to-pointer and hurdler FAKIR D'ALENE didn't look at his best over timber here last month but his pedigree is all about jumping fences and he can make a winning start. Grangeclare Native has won between the flags, a bumper and scored over hurdles at Downpatrick in July while Mattie's Mountain completed a hat-trick over timber at the backend of last year and will have come on a bundle for his chase debut at Limerick in September. Mount Melleray produced a couple of very good runs over fences in the spring and looks a certain improver while Regina Dracones was in excellent form over hurdles last winter and has a chaser's pedigree.
