Fair Return has a wonderful pedigree for jumping and made an impressive debut in a point at Quakerstown in April. Whatever happens today, he's definitely one to keep an eye on this campaign. NO MORE HEROES won a point and two bumpers before completing a double over timber in a Grade 2 at Navan. His best run came in the Grade 1 Albert Bartlett at the Cheltenham Festival when narrowly beaten into third behind Martello Tower. His dam is related to Celestial Gold so chasing is in his blood and he should start off with a victory. Fine Article, who is a half-brother to Joncol, was a useful and consistent hurdler with a close second in a Grade 3 to his credit and he's another to look forward to over the bigger obstacles. The remainder look up against it in an event that should provide plenty of pointers for the future.
