FormscanBy Michael Graham - MERLIN GIANT holds three entries for Galway week including an eye-catching one in a Grade 3 novice chase, so it is reasonable to assume he has been primed for Ballybrit. He has been off since being placed in a valuable Flat handicap at the Curragh in September and makes his debut over fences. He has won a Grade A handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse which shows the ability he has. Jet Setting Jim held every chance in second when falling at the last on chasing debut in Tipperary, so has to enter calculations. Thecompanysergeant has finished runner-up in three of his last four races over fences, while Caesar Rock has plenty of experience.
A steeplechase for four years old and upwards that have not won a steeplechase
