A big field but few with realistic chances. BON PAPA is likely to be a warm order after his fall on his hurdling bow at Cork. An impressive bumper winner last month, he was a long odds-on chance when coming to grief when travelling strongly at the third last and compensation awaits. No Brainer has shown potential but would need more to upset the selection while winning point-to-pointer Monbeg Chit Chat was well beaten on his debut over timber at Down Royal. Giant Spirit looks the type to do better over further as does Davids Charm, who was staying on over 2m4f at Killarney.
