FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A winner over the minimum trip here last month, MICK CHARLIE should have no difficulty stepping up almost a mile in distance. Having already won over further as a hurdler, he looks particularly well treated from a 10lb lower mark in this discipline. Tangental is another horse whose chase rating appears exploitable relative to his hurdling one. However, with just the two starts over fences thus far, the Colm Murphy-trained eight-year-old does have to prove that he is equally as effective as a chaser. Having sent out an impressive winner at Cork on Monday, Killarney trainer Eamon Courtney clearly has his string in good health. With that in mind, it would come as no surprise to see Da Big Fella improve on recent efforts.
An extended handicap steeplechase for four years old and upwards (109 = 12st)
Penalties - Winner of a steeplechase after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each steeplechase won.
