It's a big disappointment to connections that MALL DINI is 0-13 over fences considering a year ago he was beaten half-a-length in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham. He's only had three runs subsequently and has lost his way a little but won't get a better chance to put matters right. Dakota Moirette is also a maiden over fences after eight starts though was unlucky when falling at the last at Fairyhouse last month. His overall form suggests he would be the one to take advantage if the selection doesn't come up to scratch. Thosedaysaregone makes his debut over fences and his pedigree suggests he should take to chasing but the remainder have plenty to find.
