FormscanBy Gary Carson - BYTHESAMETOKEN is interesting here on his chase debut. The Fame And Glory gelding has improved a good bit over hurdles in the last couple of years and it's noteworthy that in the past connections have mentioned going over fences as he 'loves jumping'. There could be more to come from him in this sphere and this looks a perfect starting point given the ratings conditions. Now Where Or When was no match for easy winner Fakir D'alene on his chase debut at Down Royal but it was still a decent run to finish second and with that experience under his belt he could be a danger. A significant absence wouldn't be a big concern for Cherif De L'isle coming from the Gordon Elliott yard but judged on his hurdles form this trip might be a bit short.
