In depth
Verdict
Fauguernon make a quick reappearance and his chasing debut after finishing fourth in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse on Saturday. Gordon Elliott has two entries here. Cherif De L'Isle has some fair form over hurdles having won twice and been placed seven times while Soldier At War, who has the same rating over timber, has experience over fences having run at Listowel last month where he made a few mistakes. Basil's Boy won twice over hurdles during the summer but ENJOY D'ALLEN looks the one to beat after chasing home the promising The Shunter at Punchestown where he did well to get as close as he did after losing a shoe.
