VERDICT: High Class Hero performed to a high level over hurdles and ran well on his chase debut here in December. Generally consistent, he was too keen when pulling up at Cheltenham in March but returned to finish second in a Grade 1 at the Punchestown Festival. He holds stablemate Loughglynn by 10 lengths on his last run and he can build on that promising introduction to fences. Mint Boy was unsuited by the shorter distance over hurdles at Leopardstown over Christmas but is rated 134 in this sphere, having shown better form at Galway in October. He stays well but might struggle to beat the selection. Chigorin was well held at Gowran but should also benefit from returning to this longer trip.
