FormscanBy Tom Weekes - AGUSTA GOLD brings recent form and solid previous chase experience here today and could be the one to beat, despite what in theory was a slightly below par run at Fairyhouse recently. She was a useful novice hurdler over middle and staying distances last season, was Listed, Grade B and Grade 3 placed and while there was no disgrace in being beaten on her two initial beginners chase starts, she did finish 0.5L behind Inishbel at Fairyhouse latest. However that run was over an inadequate two miles and the return to 2m4f today should see AGUSTA GOLD in a better light. Sinoria was herself a smart type over hurdles last term and while she disappointed at Cheltenham on her latest run, had previously won a useful Listed race. She goes well on today's sound surfacehas winning form at this trip and while she has also won her only point-to-point start, she does lack chase experience on her seasonal reappearance today. Darling Miss has chase experience to her name and while she has been quite progressive, lacks a gear to win today and didn't take advantage of an opportunity to win a dramatic chase at Tramore in August and might also ideally prefer a longer trip today. Inishbel finished ahead of the selection at Fairyhouse latest but that was more suited by the two miles trip then and might struggle to confirm placings today, albeit she does have solid place claims. Belle West ran a nice race over fences at Sligo last month and while she might bump into one or two too good today, does have some place chance.
