Derinlaur has run six times over fences without winning but there's nothing wrong with his form and he should be scoring soon. Forjoetheplumber also has plenty of experience and his overall form looks strong, especially his third behind Chicago Grey at Galway. He looks certain to go well but potential punters would have to ignore a poor latest run from Page One Two Nine to get involved with him. Seafield, Ballinahow Lady and Belle Brook are maiden hurdle winners who should do well over fences but it's another making his chasing bow, RIVAGE D'OR, who should take this as he made great strides over timber last season and ended with a fine second to Kerb Appeal in a very tough Punchestown handicap in May.
