Baizically fell on his handicap chase debut at Down Royal and may not have the experience for such a tough event. Imaalhall has done all of his winning on ground with plenty of give but it was very fast going when ANNIE MAY gained a facile victory over 2m4f here last month and, though she's another who lacks experience, she doesn't look on a bad mark and can take this. Guts For Garters started favourite for a similar event over the C&D last month but could only plod on at one pace and he has something to find with Rookery Rebel on their run at Down Royal in March. The latter hasn't proved himself at anywhere near this trip but isn't badly treated if his stamina holds out.
