MONBEG GOLD hasn't relished the switch to fences this season but should be at home now back over these smaller obstacles, he's already shown himself to be quite a smart hurdler and is respected now back in this sphere off a very fair mark. Last month's Cheltenham scorer Iora Glas is greatly respected up 5lb, seemingly with better claims than Bangor scorer The Road Ahead who now shoulders another 8lb in a deeper race. Rolling Maul has his quirks but went well last time and could figure, with Isaacstown Lad also featuring on the shortlist.
