GUN DIGGER put up a sound effort on his chasing debut at Gowran Park recently, form that could be boosted when winner runs in the Grade 3 that precedes this contest. In any case, Gordon Elliott's charge boasts that experience and can improve from it to build his challenge now. Chris's Dream should develop into a useful weapon in this sphere, though maybe over further, while fellow chase debutant Shady Operator also has solid credentials. Kagney isn't the easiest to get right it seems but is well worth a look based on effort at Kilbeggan in the spring.
