FormscanBy John O'Riordan - PRESENTING LAD wouldn't have been the highest rated of this lot over hurdles but his previous chasing experience may see him home in front. With the benefit of six starts over the larger obstacles to call upon, the Mark McNiff-trained gelding can take some of his rivals out of their comfort zones. Placed three times in chases, the eight-year-old has attained a handicap rating of 110. Point-to-point winner If You Let Me has to be a real threat if taking to regulation fences on his chasing debut. The Gavin Cromwell-trained five-year-old has more scope for improvement than any of his opponents. Smart hurdler San Salvador would be a contender if fit enough for this assignment on his first start in 439 days. The Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding shaped well on his chasing debut when last seen.
