Maiden hurdle winner Inch Rise goes chasing for the same time and has a similar rating over timber to GO DARSI GO. The latter also makes his chasing bow having been beaten only a head at Punchestown last month and Conor O’Dwyer’s charge can go close if taking to the larger obstacles. Ice Cool is another hurdles winner chasing for the first time today along with point-to-point winner Captain Bizarro. Annamatopoeia has been placed over fences before but has yet to threaten.
