Cap D'Aubois was returning from a long break when well beaten at Killarney last month having changed stables again. He'll need to return to his best and could just need another run. Mon Storm, who won over hurdles here in April, has been in fine form over the smaller obstacles winning here again last month so is one to note on his chasing debut. PONT AVEN made a successful chasing debut at Wexford in May then ran well behind stable companion Robin De Carlow at Killarney in July. He looks very progressive and can see off Make My Heart Fly, who has done very well since turning the fences though may have been a bit fortunate to score at Kilbeggan as a close challenger departed at the last.
