FormscanBy Gary Carson - Grade 1 winner KARGESE can make a winning start over fences here. The Jeu St Eloi filly was last seen running a big race to finish third behind star stablemate State Man in top level company at Punchestown in early May. She won the County Hurdle last year at Cheltenham and is pitched straight into graded company now on her chase debut. Old rival Kala Conti bounced back to winning ways on her chase debut here a fortnight ago and that experience is a plus. She could be the danger. Break My Soul and Jalila Moriviere were also good winners first time out over fences and have to come into calculations in a good race.
