Verdict
Hidden Charmer fell in both point-to-points and was well beaten in a bumper but did very much better on his hurdling debut in a big field at Gowran and won't need much more here. Calm Chaos was well supported for a bumper at Roscommon a couple of weeks ago and though not showing much should do better over obstacles. CALIN DES ONGRAIS showed enough in his two starts over hurdles to be sent for a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse where he was well beaten but this looks more his class and he can get off the mark. Aretesone has had plenty of experience but continues to let his supporters down.
