Rothman and Dino Mite already have experience over fences but need to improve. Go On Henry was last on his debut under Rules but the ex-French Voix D'eau is an interesting runner, though wasn't as good over hurdles as MILE HOUSE. Robert Stephens' charge is a decent performer over the smaller obstacles and it's only 18 months since he was winning a point-to-point at Laurencetown so the switch to chasing shouldn't be a problem and he's already shown that he handles this tricky track.
