FormscanBy Tom Weekes - EL CHAMPO has strong claims being an experienced type and possessing a chase rating of 120, in a race confined to horses rated 0-116 over hurdles. A progressive three-time hurdle winner last year, his recent chase form is good, ran a cracker to finish second at Listed level last month and today's rider now claims 7lb. Miss Gherkin also contested a smart Killarney handicap last month and now meets more experienced rivals on chase debut. She is an able 113-rated hurdler who notably receives her mares' 7lb allowance though, although both her wins have come over two miles. Debut point-to-point winner Marv Michael should know his job for his fences debut and recently won a lesser Tramore maiden hurdle.
