Exxaro did well to score twice over hurdles as he has always looked like a chaser and is one to note on his debut. ALL HELL LET LOOSE finished runner-up to the useful Ttebbob on his chasing bow at Thurles in November. He's only had one subsequent run over fences but that sort of form would be good enough for this. As De Ferbet will love the conditions and found two miles much too short at Punchestown last time though he may even find this on the short side as his best runs last summer came over 2m6f.
