Corrick Bridge has yet to win in nine starts over fences though his placed efforts should see him thereabouts, while A Little Different shaped well enough on his chasing debut on fast ground at Kilbeggan and can figure. Mr Nosie has been placed on his last three starts over fences and will handle the underfoot conditions, but former Paul Nicholls' inmate River D'Or was well beaten at Tipperary in July. Steel Magnate keeps finding at least one too good so SON AMIX gets the vote. He's much the best of these over hurdles and is likely to have been well schooled for his first start over the larger obstacles.
