MARCHESE MARCONI has only run once over fences where he found the ground too soft. A decent performer on the Flat and over hurdles, he is the type to run up a sequence on summer ground. Myles Ahead will love the going on his chasing debut and is one to keep an eye on in the market though the main threat may come from Phil's Magic, a Listed winner over hurdles who has been coming up against strong opposition since tackling the bigger obstacles. Chatham House Rule was beaten at odds-on over fences at Thurles but was in the lead at this trip before finding the last quarter-mile too much for him.
