Race preview
EL FABIOLO, who has so much class, has to be given maximum respect back over the smaller obstacles. He's returning to action having fallen in three of his last four high-class chases and should enjoy this assignment. He's two from three at Punchestown including in a novice hurdle. Ballyadam placed in the last two renewals of the Coral Cup at Cheltenham and looks a big player in his bid for back-to-back victories. Glen Kiln is another who commands respect, while Martin Brassil's French-import Ain't Got Wings is worth a market check. Spillane's Tower should come on from an unplaced effort on seasonal reappearance in Naas.
