Hairy Molly has never reached her potential over fences but may be suited by today's trip after running over further. Dream Champion landed a beginners' chase at Down Royal in impressive fashion and loves the fast ground. This is tougher but he's obviously in good heart and can go well. Glacial Promise was probably fortunate to land a beginners' chase at Wexford but has been in good form and likes the conditions. MISTER BISHOP was having only his second start over fences when making all for a very impressive victory at Tipperary. He got the run of the race that day but is undoubtedly progressing and can make a winning handicap debut.
