Formscan By Donal Murphy - A proven stayer and a battle-hardened competitor, HISTORY OF FASHION appeals in this stamina sapping contest. Winning twice from six starts last season, he had a nice pipe-opener at Gowran recently and it should leave him spot on for this assignment. An easy winner over flights at Navan in September, Big Debates is the second choice. A close fourth in this very contest 12-months ago, he is rated 5lb lower now and the addition of a tongue-strap might eke out further improvement. Representing Willie Mullins, Chosen Witness and A Penny Hundred warrant the utmost respect, with Paul Townend opting to partner the former. A close third when bidding to complete a four-timer at Galway, Bal Kauto is of definite interest, while others for the shortlist in this competitive affair are the returning Fortunedefortunata and Gavin Cromwell's Noble Birth.

An extended handicap steeplechase for four years old and upwards rated 0-150 that at entry have run at least four times in steeplechases
Penalties - Winner of a steeplechase or steeplechases after calculation of the handicap shall carry any penalty or penalties which may be allotted by the Handicapper.
