Harry Fry has been back among the winners lately and CHALONNIAL can justify his long journey from Dorset. A comfortable debut winner on heavy ground at Wincanton, he'll find conditions to his liking and can remain unbeaten. But he'll need to be at his very best to see off the attentions of Without Limites, runner-up to the highly regarded Aspen Colorado at Leopardstown before a facile victory at Punchestown. Katy P's pedigree is more suited to staying chases but Belarusian has plenty of natural pace in his pedigree and is one to note when the ground dries out.
