0-12 as a chaser but ran well in first-time cheekpieces (joining tongue-tie) at Punchestown last time and won't be far away if taking to the blinkers.

Dual hurdles winner, including here; creditable third of six over an extended 2m7f here on chasing debut in June when he didn't appear to stay the trip; modest third of nine over hurdles at Downpatrick (2m2f, good) last time.

Two course wins, over 2m6f and more recently over 2m4f in April; okay chase debut here in June and has had a break since; back hurdling and this trip looks on the short side.

Runner-up in a Limerick bumper last summer; soundly beaten third on his hurdles debut at Punchestown in November; capable of better and much the likeliest to chase home the two market leaders.

0-8 over hurdles and not yet proven on ground slower than good but posted a sound effort when placed at Perth (3m) three weeks ago and is evidently in good nick.

Irish mare who has weak claims on form; would be interesting only if the market suggests improvement is on the cards.

Verdict

This looks a dead match. Sea God is very hard to assess on the basis of easily winning a two-runner bumper at Carlisle and faces a task here giving weight all round. Preference is for BIG STAGE who has a progressive profile and can step up on his solid second at Cork last time. [Justin O’Hanlon]
