Global Racing won a Punchestown handicap hurdle over 3m in January and made a very encouraging chasing debut over a trip much too short at Fairyhouse last month. There should be plenty more to come while stable companion Biddy The Boss broke a blood vessel at Fairyhouse in January and is better judged on a promising chasing debut over this track and trip. MILL QUEST has much more experience than most of these which should stand him in good stead in these conditions. He's been running in better company since landing a tough handicap at Tramore in August and can concede weight all round. Great Khan won over hurdles on heavy going and hasn't performed badly in much faster ground this winter so conditions will suit.
