Miracle In Medinah showed little on his chasing debut at Kilbeggan last week and stablemate The Abbey debuts over fences having won on the Flat last month. RUINOUS has yet to win but is rated higher than most of these over timber and could figure on his chasing bow if running up to the same mark. Whatsyourstatus returned from a lengthy absence at Kilbeggan last week and should be sharper today while Ashton Court placed over the smaller obstacles at the same meeting and both take on the larger obstacles for the first time.
