UNIC DE BERSY has only won once over jumps but his two narrow defeats in tough handicaps in January point to his obvious chances here. He should take care of stable companion Nickname Exit, who has been well beaten over fences since scoring over hurdles at Navan in February. Cliffside Park, 1-19 over hurdles, makes his chasing debut while the former UK-trained Gunner Fifteen was weakening when falling at the third last on his chasing at Leicester in February. Master Appeal is also having his first run over the bigger obstacles but he's won three times over hurdles and has a pedigree that suggests he can do well over fences.
