Formscan - Soldante continued his progression over fences when regaining the winning thread at Kilbeggan and isn't easily dismissed. That said, the eight-year-old finds himself 10lb higher so it may be worth chancing seasonal/chase debutant HE'S BRESILIAN. Jedd O'Keeffe's inmate posted a respectable third when attempting to follow up a Carlisle triumph at Hexham and has the stamp of a chaser. Tales Of Bravery and Jeune Prince add further spice to the mix.

Quotes on Soldante (IRE)
He’s a cracking horse. We’ve loved him from day one, he’s had issues but Pat (McCormack) has been fantastic and just let us do our thing,. With the help of Aaron (brother), we have a cracking team. It took a while to get this lad back but this year we’ve been so happy with him. We made a plan after Galway. Pat had never had a winner here, so we said we’d come here and have one go. It’s been a dream for him.
