The market may be a big help here however from a shortlist of Chandlers Cross, Farnogue and MASTER CHARM, it is the last-named who is given the nod. The selection was a winner at Lydstep last time out, beating Bunny Mcdougall readily. This ground should be ok and if the market vibes are positive then he should go well. Minsgill Mans was poor here when last seen but this prolific point-to-pointer should appreciate this much better ground and it would be no surprise to see a bold show. Cool Cliche tries blinkers, Chandlers Cross won between the flags recently and is considered, whilst Farnogue won unchallenged at Brampton Bryan when last seen. Up The Boreen is tongue-tied for the first time, Silver Story is consistent and along with Oca De Thaix is considered, whilst Classic Chance won from the front on quick ground between the flags last time out and is not to be ignored. An open affair as ever, but the vote goes to Master Charm.
