Gavin Cromwell has three in-form entries, two of them making their chasing debuts. Sligo maiden winner Charming Fortune doesn't have the experience of dual handicap winner The King Of Prs but Tempo Chapter Two ran very well in a novices' handicap chase at Sligo. Neveradullmoment won over timber at the Galway Festival and made a fair start over fences there but was well beaten at Fairyhouse last week. French import HENN SEE made a winning debut over hurdles for Willie Mullins but fell heavily on his chasing debut last December. He was probably feeling the effects when well beaten at Fairyhouse a month later and has been given plenty of time to recover. Malton Groove, a close relative of Grand National winner Minella Times, was always destined for fences.
