J: James Bowen

T: Warren Greatrex

Second-season chaser who took his form to new levels over about 3m1f-3m2f at Cheltenham initially this season but, after wind surgery, faded badly from three out when 10-1 for the Kim Muir there last month; needs to bounce back with another career best and he has more to prove on this third attempt at a marathon trip.

J: Mr Finian Maguire

T: Warren Greatrex

Second-season chaser who has run well here on his last three starts, finishing second of 16 under Finian Maguire (3m1f, heavy) then fourth over this C&D (good to soft; lost a shoe) before winning here (3m1f, good) on New Year's Day; has had wind surgery since and he's a solid contender.

J: James Bowen

T: Warren Greatrex

Second-season chaser who has shaped well at Cheltenham in last two outings, good fourth from out of the weights latest (3m2f, good to soft; joint-favourite); threatening to land a race of this nature.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Warren Greatrex

From out of the handicap he's 10lb higher than when second of 16 here (3m1f, heavy) last month on his reappearance; however, this 8yo could still be improving and he's not discounted with his yard in excellent form.

J: Mr Finian Maguire

T: Warren Greatrex

Two wins at about 3m (soft/good to soft) as a novice chaser last term; unable to land a blow in marathon events at the Cheltenham and Punchestown festivals but has possibilities back down in class.
