J: Donagh Meyler

Made up a lot of ground when second in handicap at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) in October; disappointingly no show in a top 3m handicap at Leopardstown at Christmas but he took another valuable prize there (soft) five weeks ago; has a revised mark and that breakthrough win was over an extended 2m5f but the Cheltenham display augurs well, as do his connections.

Maiden over hurdles and fences but a fine chase run to be second at Cheltenham two starts back; never involved in the Paddy Power Chase last time, but can do better; 1lb out of the handicap.

J: Jake Coen

T: Emmet Mullins

Has taken a while to get going over fences but ultra-canny connections secured the services of Sean Bowen when runner-up at Cheltenham in October (3m1f, good); he made a bad mistake at a crucial stage of the race but rallied gamely up the hill; could be nicely treated from just 1lb higher.

T: Emmet Mullins

Not unrealistically treated on the best of his hurdle form but yet to get anything going over fences (0-4) and never threatened to land any sort of blow from off the pace on his handicap chase debut at Listowel (3m; 10-1); however, that was after a lengthy break and his ultra-canny connections have secured the services of Sean Bowen; dangerous to dismiss.

Nearly won a 3m1f Listed handicap hurdle at Navan last winter off 1lb higher so potentially on a good mark for his handicap debut over fences; beaten 19l+ in his three chases but could easily leave those efforts behind.
