Race preview
MIGHTY OAK LAD was pulled up at Fairyhouse in January but had a veterinary excuse and is reasonably unexposed on chase debut. He landed a gamble to win on New Year's Day and having pulled up subsequently, was reported to have 'lost his left fore shoe and had a small abrasion on his left hind fetlock'. He could prove to be better than his 101 rating and is suited by testing ground. Pana To Milan has recently found form and is clearly suited by this course. She is 8lb higher than her February course chase win but should still compete. Veteran novice chaser Mick Charlie is well suited by heavy ground but is 8lb higher than when winning at Clonmel while Lake Chad has been running well but competes from 5lb higher than his hurdles' rating. Western Comandor debuts for a new yard on reappearance while first reserve Added Bonus is a dual course winner.
