Eight Chimes once looked a nice prospect but hasn't been seen for almost three years. GENERAL PRINCIPLE won a point and a bumper in very impressive fashion before mid-division in Cheltenham's championship bumper. He has a cracking jumping pedigree and can make a successful start over timber. Tayto Park was only just touched off in a bumper and started favourite for his hurdling debut at Fairyhouse but looked in need of the experience. He should do better here while winning bumper Tuzo has been finding 2m3f stretching his stamina over hurdles and this will be more to his liking. Brosna George hasn't fared badly in bumpers and may do best of the remainder.
