Verdict
Discorama has been placed over hurdles and twice over fences at the Cheltenham Festival including in a Grade 3 handicap in March. He's won several times after a break so the lack of a run shouldn't be a problem. Winning bumper and hurdler Dream Conti made a successful chasing bow at Cork almost a year ago but hasn't run subsequently. Milan Native landed the Kim Muir at Cheltenham and has an obvious chance on that form while COURT MAID was impressive when beating the useful Doctor Duffy on her chasing debut over the track and trip in July and could be good enough with a fitness advantage on her side. Forza Milan found 3m6f stretching his stamina in the National Hunt Cup at Cheltenham.
