YORKHILL's chasing debut has been long anticipated and he has half-a-dozen entries in Grade 1 events over the coming weeks. Seven times a winner on the trot, including three at Grade 1 level, he ended the last campaign with a poor run when long odds-on for the Champion Novice hurdles at Punchestown which wasn't his form - he'll be a warm order here but can't be opposed. Hurry Henry loves soft ground and has always had the look of a chaser as has Burgas, who is in the same ownership and Bryan Cooper has elected to ride. Noel Meade's charge could be the one to take advantage if the selection doesn't come up to scratch though A Great View, who will love the testing conditions and made a very satisfactory chasing debut behind Min at Navan, can reach the frame.
