In receipt of a girls allowance Kind Heart should go well in this Beginners' Chase but STAGECOACH PEARL is best served by the framing of the race and should score under the champion although El Presidente wouldn't have to find a great deal to get on terms. It's three goes over the big stuff and three seconds so far for the selection who has taken really well to this code having won his fair share over hurdles last year. Tony McCoy has a good record when riding for this yard so he can go one better. El Presidente was fair on the level in Ireland and only found the one too good in a similar race last time. He was well held that day and will have to improve to score. Kind Heart won at the first time of asking over timber after winning a couple of times on the flat. She hasn't been at her best in recent runs but she receives plenty of weight from all here. Gougane was disappointing on debut for his current yard but might be worth chancing based on his Irish form however Stagecoach Pearl is hard to oppose on these terms.
