The final selection of the afternoon on Tuesday comes in the Grade One Champion Novice Chase over 3m 1/2f and we are siding with Journey With Me who will improve for the step up in trip.
A horse that showed plenty of ability in his early days winning his PTP by 12 lengths and then on rules debut bolted up again at Gowran Park in tough conditions.Sent hurdling in December 2021 over 2m4f at Leopardstown, he saw off two talented rivals in Minella Crooner and Kilcruit to land his first race over hurdles.
Backing that up at Naas in a Listed Novice Hurdle under a penalty, he was then sent into the Grade One Ballymore Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham festival and although he would have been beaten, he took the first fall of his career.
Stepped up to three miles at the Punchestown festival he never really got involved and it was a tame end to a promising season.
Sent chasing this term he looked to need his debut massively looking like he had never seen a fence in his life and ultimately two from home.
However, since then he has shown much better form, getting off the mark next time out when bolting up at Naas ahead of a next time out winner.
Improving again he was a 1/2 length second to the highly talented Impervious in the Grade Three Novice Chase at Punchestown over 2m 3 1/2f.
Back to winning ways at Naas in a Grade Three Novice Chase last time out, skipping the Cheltenham and Aintree festivals, should leave him bang on for this event.
