After shaping as though he needed the run on reappearance CORBETTS CROSS impressed winning readily at Fairyhouse at the start of the month. He has a lot of potential as a chaser and with further improvement expected he should follow up here. The testing ground won't bother him and he is one to keep on side. Flooring Porter looked awkward behind Favori De Champdou at Punchestown so the latter looks a greater danger to the fav.

The way YOUNG BUSTER jumped rivals into submission at this track on reappearance last month was very impressive. He raced enthusiastically throughout and with further improvement to come he can make it a perfect 3-3 over fences. Gentleman De Mai left his chase debut behind to win at this track on return and is the obvious danger as that was a good effort. Imperial Merlin could do better over fences but might need the experience.
