Island Oscar has had no luck so far over fences and is better than form figures suggest while Marlay Park progressed really well over timber earlier this year and looks a chaser in the making. Rattan hardly has a pedigree for chasing but he's done reasonably well over timber and could prove a decent prospect. He wasn't as good as RIVAGE D'OR over hurdles, however, and though the latter proved a disappointment on his chasing debut when a short-priced favourite he will have learnt from that and can make amends. Toon River hasn't been seen for a while but looks just the type to do well at this game while Start Me Up has a real chaser's pedigree and is one to keep an eye on as he makes his debut over the bigger obstacles.
