Form & Verdict

Multiple Grade 2 winner over hurdles and fences; arguably a career-best effort when second to stablemate Royal Rendezvous off top-weight in the Galway Plate when last seen; chance will be aided by the rain staying away.

Form & Verdict

Dual Grade 2 winner over fences; made a seamless return from a 624-day layoff when bolting up at Ballinrobe, the form of which has been complimented since with Exit Poll winning at Kilbeggan; has won a point and twice over 2m5f on the track but he's definitely better over shorter; could well get the top two out of their comfort zone early and looks well-treated getting weight off those rivals, despite there being little between the three on ratings.

T: E Bolger

Two-time 2m Grade 2 chase winner (good/soft to heavy), the latest in November 2019, and he's run two good races since returning from a long absence in August; has a very lofty mark to defy today but this Irish front-runner is nevertheless respected in a race in which topweights have done well.

Form & Verdict

Came into the form of his life around this time last year, culminating with a breakthrough Grade 1 success when he snared the Ladbrokes Champion Chase at Down Royal in last-gasp style; went on to finish second in the Christmas Hurdle and the Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup before running respectably in the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham; last seen finishing mid-field in the Punchestown version; Jordan Gainford's claim will be a help on his return.

T: Gordon Elliott

Won a handicap chase at this meeting in 2018 and very nearly took the Pertemps Final in 2020; good to see him still doing the business in points and he clearly failed to give his running behind Vaucelet at Down Royal in December (favourite); odds-on defeat on latest start reduces his appeal but returning here might get his competitive juices flowing; cheekpieces on for the first time.

T: Gordon Elliott

Grade One C&D winner has made an excellent start to life as a 'Pointer', winning all three starts, latest with a nice bit left in the locker from Some Are Lucky; fits into the 'class is permanent' type of category, and could have a bit too much firepower for his rivals here, albeit a hot affair.
