Race preview
JAMES DU BERLAIS ran a fine race in defeat when fourth to Meetingofthewaters in the Paddy Power Chase here over 3m and the eight-year-old, who is 14lb better off with his stablemate, boasts strong credentials in his attempt to reverse the form, especially now dropping in trip. Inothewayurthinkin has shown promise on all three chase starts and warrants plenty of respect on his handicap debut, while similar comments apply to Heart Wood. Others for the shortlist include Indiana Jones, Perceval Legallois and Adamantly Chosen.
