Winning point-to-pointer CHUTE HALL ran very well on his hurdling debut at Punchestown in April and is handed the vote in a race where the market should prove the best guide. Court Frontier was caught in the closing stages on his debut at Killarney last month and with that under his belt has to be considered along with Creadan Mist, who wasn't beaten far in a very strong Tramore bumper last time. Mill Forge looked the likely winner inside the final furlong at Down Royal but was caught in the closing stages and the softer conditions and longer trip here should enable him to perform with credit again.
