The lightly-raced AKLAN, runner-up in a 2012 Leopardstown Listed event when in the care of John Oxx, makes his debut over timber for the champion trainer and looks to have been found a relatively easy start despite the huge field. Chancol, who won a bumper here in December, is the pick of those with form over hurdles having run well behind Western Boy in what looked a decent maiden at Leopardstown on St Stephens Day. Oscar Vespasian's form figures look better than his actual performances and though The Engineer showed potential when last seen that was back in 2011.
