Irish runners dominate the field and the sole UK runner IROKO (3) could put up a bold show. The former Cheltenham Festival winner ended last season with a G1 runner-up effort in the 3m1f Mildmay Novices Chase at Aintree before a 0.5L second at Haydock a month ago. Ticks plenty of boxes. FIL DOR (1) was an easy winner of a 2m6f Listed chase at Thurles last month. Has plenty of chasing experience. Big chance. JAMES DU BERLAIS (4) was running well in competitive handicaps last season. This rates an ideal opportunity. Makes appeal. Previous G1 Cheltenham Gold Cup sixth JUNGLE BOOGIE (2) is a G3 winning chaser. Worth a second look.
