A chance is taken on SOIR DE CHANTENAY, a three-time winner in France that has yet to find his niche in current colours. His most recent run at Gowran Park was a step in the right direction and there could be more to come. Rightdownthemiddle is a much-respected contender based on his previous run over fences at Leopardstown, if repeating that now switched to this discipline he will take some holding. Quite a few of these are reverting to hurdles, making the form tough to assess, but hat-trick seeker Nicole's Milan doesn't fall into that category. Despite the ratings rise, she should go well again. Dounikos ought to be better than his most recent running and can be given a chance on prior form while Emma Beag is likely to do better now dropped in trip again and has some potential. 1.
