Gambling Girl is interesting on her chasing debut as she won on the Flat at Wexford three weeks ago and has scored twice over hurdles. Winning point-to-pointer and hurdler Rock On Fruity should make a chaser but the vote goes to SIZING CODELCO. Henry De Bromhead's charge ran very well in tough handicaps over timber in the spring and his earlier second to Clarcam over fences at Navan is the stand-out piece of form in the event. Blair Perrone, who was last seen when third in the Champion Novice Hurdle at Punchestown in April in which Rich Coast pulled up, could be an exciting prospect for chasing and is one to keep an eye on while Mr Picotee has improved with each run over fences.
