Glendaars Best has had 20 starts under Rules including 13 over hurdles but failed to win which doesn't augur well for a chasing career. Winning bumper Badgerfort did little over hurdles and didn't get much of an opportunity on his chasing bow after being impeded. CALEDON CRAIC was a very moderate point-to-pointer but has done better over timber and though he would probably prefer further this is very a poor contest and he can gain his first success. Nimdani has a couple of reasonable runs behind him over hurdles but winning bumper Vicangelome has been beaten a long way in most starts over the smaller obstacles.
