Verdict
Soldante sets the standard of these with bumper form having finished a close second in what looked a strong Galway bumper in October. However, CHOSEN WITNESS who is out of a mare who won a bumper and hails from a Gold Cup winning family, can make a successful debut for the champion trainer, who also runs Dysart Dasher, a half-brother to two winning bumpers/jumpers. Fermoyle was only beaten a head at Punchestown in October but didn't run as well at Navan a month later.
