A low-mileage winner over hurdles, PAUL MARVEL continued his theme of race-by-race progress over fences when runner-up at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago, and with the prospect of even more to come now handicapping over this markedly longer trip, he could be the answer. Battle It Out, who was impressive when successful at Naas 4 weeks ago, rates the chief threat, with Ask Anything and Bushmans Pass completing the shortlist.
