MALL DINI ended the last campaign with a victory in the Pertemps at Cheltenham in March and will have come on a bundle for his chasing debut at Punchestown last month. He should be winning decent races over fences this campaign as should A Genie In Abottle, who made a promising chasing bow at Galway before finding the useful Martello Tower just too quick over 2m5f on this track. He'll be well suited by the extra and looks a threat to all. Annamatopoeia is by far the most experienced of these having had 13 starts over fences already and she's produced some very good runs in stiff company including behind Listen Dear in a Cork Grade 3 on Sunday so she's no forlorn hope to finally get off the mark. Be The Hero completed a double over hurdles in the spring in effortless style and attracted good support on his chasing debut in the race won by stable companion A Toi Phil at Down Royal. He was still there and going well enough when falling at the seventh. Blazer, a very close fourth in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham, had some experience over fences in France which should stand him in good stead in a very interesting beginners' race.
