FormscanBy Tom Weekes - FAG AN BEALACH can make use of her very helpful mares' allowance in this chase, which is confined to horses rated 109 or less over hurdles. She was an impressive debut bumper winner t Down Royal in March 2019 and has since performed well over hurdles. She failed to win in two attempts in handicaps rated 107 but ran well on her latest run in March and appears the type who could do well over fences and contests this winneable race on reappearance today. The Abbey is already rated 109 over fences and while he has won just once, a flat race, in 21 career outings, has run well in two similar chases recently and should get involved at the business end today. Knot On Time won his maiden hurdle here in August and also ran also well in a novice hurdle here in September but might do well to win this on chase debut.
