FormscanBy Tom Weekes - AODHAN MAY previously won a chase in 2023 and having progressed well over hurdles earlier this year, reverts to chasing with a 35lb lower mark. While pulled up on her latest chase runs of 2023, she has improved since then and is suited by today's conditions. Similarly, Desert Heather is rated 40lb higher over hurdles but disappointed badly over fences in August. That was her first run for 263 days though and while she will appreciate today's softer ground, nonetheless has something to prove. West Clare has a race-fitness edge, is suited by conditions and while he makes his chase debut, has point-to-point experience so can be relied upon. Hunt Museum showed some improvement in May although lacks a run.
