Lakemilan easily won a beginners' chase at Limerick in April and makes a quick reappearance after getting only as far as the second at Punchestown last week. Bakers Street finished first past the post over 2m here last month but was demoted to second for causing interference. To add insult to injury, he's been raised 3lb but his rider's claim should aid his cause again. Rebellion Boy started favourite in that latter race but could only finish fourth and his stable look to have a better chance with the progressive FINTARA. He was having only his third start over fences when scoring over the minimum here last month where he looked as though this longer trip would suit. Da Baba Elephant won a couple of races in the UK last summer but probably needs further on this sort of ground.
