High-class chaser REALT DUBH reverts to hurdling for the first time in over two years but the Boylesports Champion Chase runner-up is on a massive 24lb lower mark and can hardly be opposed, especially as he was a more than useful hurdler. False Economy is another classy performer over fences on a much lower mark here and he has a recent success over hurdles to his credit so must be a threat. Deutschland hasn't done as well as expected but the handicapper has relaxed his grip a little while Bob Lingo is yet another chaser reverting to the smaller obstacles and he's been in good form. Carlingford Lough enters the fray in top form though a 10lb rise for his latest success gives him a stiff task in this lucrative handicap.
