Not much to go on here though recent Down Royal hurdles winner Rossmore's Pride ran well for a long way on his chasing debut at Limerick. FESTIVAL OPERA, a dual winner between the flags, performed with credit on the banks course at Punchestown so should have no problems with the fences and is handed the vote though Ri An Rian, who makes his debut over fences, has a chaser's pedigree. Macca's Stowaway hasn't shown much in two starts for Gordon Elliott after transferring from the UK and stablemate Kayf Thou may have more of a chance as he's lightly-raced and out of a very smart mare.
