Alpine Glade arrives in good form having won over hurdles at Killarney last month and doesn't look badly treated on the level. Dream Champion is in even better form over timber having carried Ruby Walsh to two recent victories and he's been successful on three occasions on the Flat. SLIEVECORRAGH has been a real success story over timber having gone up a massive 34lb since last November. He's only 6lb higher than when last successful on the level and looks ready for another victory. My Blue Heaven stepped up to this trip for the first time at Leopardstown a month ago and gained her first success in comfortable style. An 8lb rise didn't help matters at Tramore subsequently but she's in good form and worth a look. Emrani has more scope than most here and she's been lightly campaigned after completing a Polytrack double earlier in the year.
