The four-year-old filly Dakota Moirette makes her chasing debut with all the allowances and it doesn't look the toughest of starts. Winning bumper and hurdler Avenir D'Une Vie led for a long way on his chasing debut over 2m3f at Naas and should make that experience count but BON PAPA may be good enough to make a successful debut over fences. A winning bumper and hurdler, his final two starts last season came in Grade 1 company and, though running poorly, his pedigree is all about fences. Light That has been in good form on the Flat this summer, though hasn't done as well on his return to hurdles. Stand Up And Fight looks the main threat and could prove a smart novice. A maiden hurdle winner at Fairyhouse, he contested grade company in his later starts and his second to Al Boum Photo at the latter track has been greatly boosted by the winner.
