Bumper winner Beast Of Belstane jumped poorly and was eventually pulled up on his hurdles bow here last month. It’s possible he didn’t handle the heavy ground but he’ll need to do much better today to thwart likely hot favourite CARRIE DES CHAMPS, who found 2m too short at Bellewstown after landing the odds at Southwell and won the bumper on this card 12 months ago. Fyfin Patsy won a maiden point in May but makes her debut under Rules.
