J: Jack Kennedy

T: Gordon Elliott

Three-time course winner including Grade 2 novice chase over this trip; found things much too demanding in the Brown Advisory and in Punchestown Grade 1; lowering of sights could do the trick, and he has to be regarded as a strong candidate being Jack Kennedy's pick.

Both chase wins this term have been at Navan, notably defeat of Nick Rockett in 3m Grade 2 Ten Up Novices' on heavy; nothing like that form in Brown Advisory at Cheltenham however, some major blunders; jumping remains a concern at this level.

J: Jack Kennedy

T: Gordon Elliott

Second in the 2022 Champion Bumper; won at Navan over fences this season in a maiden in November (2m4f, soft to heavy; Fact To File second) and Grade 2 in February (3m, heavy); jumping still not polished for most recent win and this will ask an even harder question, but conditions will hold no fears.
