CARABINIER is having his first start for Enda Bolger after winning twice over fences in the spring for Nicky Henderson. He's very well handicapped back over timber and providing he's ready will be difficult to beat. Red Cert hadn't shown much before landing a Kilbeggan maiden where he was well supported and scored impressively. He's making his handicap debut but looks likely to be thereabouts as does Magnetic Force, who Barry Geraghty has ridden to victory in the past. Rodriguez looks as though he needs further but Playtime Ben has to enter calculations after beating a big field in a Clonmel maiden as he doesn't look overburdened. Sounds Of Thunder has been going a bit better than his form figures suggest and is another to consider with David Splaine's claim a bonus.
