FormscanBy Tom Weekes - ACAPELLA BOURGEOIS is tipped in the hope he turns up on a going-day, in what is a typically competitive renewal. He has always been a very capable horse on his day but his form has been equally in-and-out and has, in the past, burst blood vessels. His third-place finish in last April's Irish Grand National was a fine effort and while he was subsequently beaten out of sight in the French Gold Cup in May, his latest chase effort behind Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo at Tramore on New Year's Day was an encouraging effort and he comes here his yard's first-string as a proven performer at this level and trip, and on soft ground. ACAPELLA BOURGEOIS beat Roaring Bull 30L in that Irish National last April with Roarring Bull subsequently winning the Paddy Power Chase in dramatic fashion at Leopardstown over Christmas. Roaring Bull has been penalised 7lbs for that win but with just 10st 11lbs today, should still prove competitive if replicating that form. Chef Des Obeaux was today's closest finisher to Roaring Bull in the Paddy Power and has claims despite having a big weight. In common with the selection, his form was in-and-out when trained by Nicky Henderson in England but he was very capable on his day and did run a promising race when fifth at Leopardstown. He should go well today from a 1lb higher mark. Moyhenna was in touch when falling in a Grade B chase at Limerick over Christmas and is a contender on last season's form. She won a Grade 2 novice chase at Limerick by 25L in March, is proven at this trip and on testing ground and also has winning handicap chase form to her name. Smoking Gun was very progressive over hurdles last season and while he has just three chase runs to his name, did win a beginners chase on his previous start and could go well from a light weight.
