Go Darsi Go had some smart form over hurdles before making a successful debut over fences at Roscommon last May but hasn't been seen subsequently. He should do well this campaign back over fences but the lack of a recent run may hand the advantage to PROSPECTUS. Gavin Cromwell's charge won twice over hurdles last winter and has been going well on the Flat in recent weeks. Draycott Place has been alternating between hurdles and fences and is better handicapped over these obstacles so has to be a threat but Hallmark's recent improved form has been over longer trips.
