Ange D'or Javilex makes a quick reappearance after falling at the eighth when tacking 2m6f at Punchestown on Sunday and will probably need further. Stable companion Grotesque made a very promising start over fences behind Getaway Kid at Down Royal, when Biddy The Boss was doing her best work at the finish. That was over 2m4f and both will be seen in an even better light over further, a remark that also applies to AT YOUR EASE. Arthur Moore's charge only had four runs over hurdles and was always going to be a chaser. He makes his debut over the bigger obstacles here after landing a maiden hurdle at Naas and gets the nod to make a successful start. The remaining pair have had too many jumping problems to consider.
