FormscanBy Gary Carson - DINOBLUE was a good winner at the festival last season and this looks like another nice opportunity to score at the top level with the mare. She already has a Grade 1 in the bag this season, having won in fine style at Leopardstown over Christmas. She drops back in trip now having failed to reel in Limerick Lace in the Mares Chase at Cheltenham last time. Captain Guinness had his day in the sun when taking the Champion Chase last month, beating Gentleman de Mee. That race lost some of it's lustre after the exit of El Fabiolo but Captain Guinness is a wonderfully consistent performer and is sure to be a big player again here.
A steeplechase for five years old and upwards
