Connections have long hoped that the son of Definite Article will make into a top chaser like his half-brother Joncol and he takes the first step in that sphere in the two-and-a-half mile contest. He faces a strong rival in No More Heroes, who ran a stormer to finish third in the Albert Bartlett Hurdle at Cheltenham. Trainer Paul Nolan admits his charge will benefit from the run and is hoping for a trouble-free round and a nice education. "He's in good form," said Nolan. "It's a very good race with the likes of No More Heroes in it. "Hopefully he'll have a clear round and we can get a nice first run over fences into him. "He'll come on a nice bit from the run as he hasn't had any schooling races and we haven't had him away from home. "We'd possibly like it a bit softer but he is a Definite Article so he should be able to handle it. "We're going to take our chance anyway and run." No More Heroes also makes his chasing debut and looks sure to go off a short price having proven amongst the leading staying novice hurdlers of last season. As well as finishing third at Cheltenham he was also a Grade Two winner at Navan when beating Shaneshill.
