FormscanBy Mark Nunan - A smart staying novice over hurdles, LETSBECLEARABOUTIT can make a winning chase debut. Gavin Cromwell's charge was classy in bumpers and achieved a healthy rating over hurdles after finishing fourth in the Albert Bartlett and the 2m4f Grade 1 novice at Aintree. He's eight already so there's no more time to delay his switch to fences. Largy Debut ran respectably behind some of the leading Irish novice chasers last term but was inclined to make mistakes. Although a beaten favourite, he did little wrong when beaten by a subsequent Punchestown festival winner at Cork in April and might just be a horse best caught fresh. Franciscan Rock's hurdle rating got a big bump upwards when he finished third in a Grade 1 novice hurdle at Punchestown and he ended the season with a mark only 3lb below that of the selection. His trainer has been looking forward to sending him over fences.
