Gavin Cromwell has three entries with Bentham having the most experience having been placed three times in 11 starts over fences. Speed Gang and Pure Sirloin have shown little though the former should do better now tackling fences. Wild Caprice was beaten a head on her chasing debut at Tipperary in July but has failed to make progress in subsequent starts but MAJAVANGO (NAP), who failed to reach a place in a dozen starts in bumpers and over hurdles, has shown himself a much better chaser. Beaten just a length on his debut at Downpatrick in May, he returned there last month to be narrowly beaten into third with subsequent winner Joeswayornoway six lengths behind.
