Westerners Son made a reasonable start over fences behind the useful Ttbbob on this track but was then well beaten behind McKinley at Fairyhouse. He'll need to do better than that though the opposition here doesn't amount to much as Goulane Chosen hasn't shown much progress in five starts over the bigger obstacles. SIZING SILVER is from a fine line of French jumpers and has always looked a chaser in the making. He's shown enough to suggest he can win at this level and can make a successful debut over fences. Buck Dancing made a reasonable chasing debut at Punchestown and with improvement expected can get into the action.
