FormscanBy Gary Carson - ASHDALE BOB retains plenty of ability and ran really well when chasing home Maxxum in a competitive handicap hurdle at the Punchestown festival early last month. This looks a nice opportunity for him now over fences. He already has chase experience and was placed in a good beginners event at Navan a few years ago. The Big Doyen could be a nice sort over fences and looks a danger on his chase debut. Peter Fahey's charge was third in Grade 2 company over timber at Cheltenham last November. Moonovercloon has posted two recent good efforts over fences and is another for the shortlist.
