Eden Flight, a bumper winner in France, was held when falling at the last here last month though this looks an easier contest and he should be in the frame. FOLCANO has been unfortunate to bump into some very smart types between the flags and over timber and it should be his turn today. He wasn't far behind the useful Ashdale Bob over the track and trip in November and that would be good enough for this. The Big Story made a very encouraging debut in a bumper at Punchestown in October though was well beaten in a similar race at Down Royal but four-times Flat winner Brazos made a promising debut over timber at Limerick and normal progress can see him involved.
