Dis Donc has had eleven starts over fences without winning but couldn't have gone any closer at Fairyhouse where he was run out of it close home by Star Max. FANCY FOUNDATIONS has a chaser's pedigree so did well to score twice over hurdles. He looks the type to have a good summer-jumps campaign starting here. The stable also run Moratorium but he's been disappointing over fences though in better company. Dual hurdles winner Bread And Butter didn't run badly on his chasing bow and looks best of the remainder.
