Forever Dylan had a poor jumping record between the flags but did better over timber last summer and looks a real chasing type. The latter remark also applies to Sam King, a winning point-to-pointer and hurdler who hasn't been beaten far over fences on good going. Thats Mypresenting made a promising start over fences here in December and though that was on heavy going he's won on fast ground over hurdles. Usurp made a winning start for Gordon Elliott over timber in October but hasn't made the expected progress while Double Windsor disappointed at Limerick after a comfortable victory over hurdles at Cork. The latter made several mistakes before falling at the last on his chasing debut here in October though he was still there with every chance. Tiliver ran quite well on his chasing bow at Roscommon though takes a big step-up in trip but the vote goes to UNE LAVANDIERE, who looked one to follow when landing a 2m6f maiden over hurdles at Killarney and has quickly been sent chasing by her in-form handler.
