THE DABBLER is best on good ground as he showed when completing a double last summer. He was brought down on his reappearance at Punchestown in February so comes here a fresh horse and gets the nod. History Of Fashion is smart on his day and would have a fine chance if getting round while Donkey Years has been narrowly beaten the last twice though is 11lb higher than his only victory over fences. Young Dev had been racing over hurdles all season but reverted to fences with an excellent run in the Midland's National though he wouldn't want the ground to dry out.
