Jury Duty seemed certain to pick up the pieces from
Mossback's fall only to be mugged by Moulin A Vent in that Naas race.
Mossback looked the most likely winner when coming down at the last back at Naas 15 days later, as Moulin A Vent beat my selection's stablemate Jury Duty.
He's seemed in good form since and
Mossback was upsides him at the last when he fell and was running a big race.

Mossback was a bit disappointing at Punchestown but the form of his novice chase win looks good and three miles on a track like this will play more to his strengths."

And his overall chase form entitles him to the vote, despite the task of conceding 8lb to the other chase winners in the field, stable-companion
MOSSBACK, LIVELOVELAUGH and MOULIN A VENT.
Ireland Tony O'Hehir Jett 12.25 Thurles Has shown a fair level of form in four of his five previous attempts over fences, most recently when fourth behind
Mossback over 2m3f at Naas early this month, and Robbie Power's mount can prove the pick in today's 2m2f beginners' chase.
