Fell on chasing debut in October before three further subsequent second-rate performances including a 43L defeat at Navan last month. Hard to fancy here.
Distance winner who was beaten favourite last time out finishing fourth of 11 beaten 22L. Second over a similar distance at Galway in October and has won in this class in the past.
Produced a better effort over fences on his last two starts winning a Clonmel beginners chase over 2m following a miraculous recovery by today's jockey.
Was probably out of his depth last time out in amateur riders contest at Cheltenham and the 128 chase rating looks a distant memory.
Comfortably won a Sligo beginners chase over 2m5f beating six rivals 2½L and finished a neck behind Persian Wind last month over 2m at Gowran Park. On a career high mark but is clearly in goods sorts right now.
C&D winner but has suffered a series of disappointing defeats this season. Record at the track is 121 so could be place material.
Has clearly had his training problems and could only muster a best placed fifth of eight on point-to-point return following a break of over 700 days. Looks a tall order.
C&D winner at this meeting last term beating 10 rivals on soft to heavy ground. Third of eight last time out and shouldn't be underestimated.
Eight-race maiden chaser who finished third of 14 beaten 13L in April after leading briefly before being headed two out. Well beaten 66L on seasonal return and others preferred.
Course winner here in March over 2m4f finishing ½L in front of Camlann in a handicap hurdle. Improved on debut chase start when third of 16 last month and not dismissed.
Brought down and well beaten in three career chase starts and requires a chunk of improvement to play a role here.
Has produced some rock-solid performances including a C&D in the past. Back to a mark he can be dangerous from and not to be underestimated.
Forecasts
Robin Des Mana (7/2), Dont Kick Nor Bite (4/1), First To Boogie (5/1), Bilbo Bagins (8/1), Effernock Lad (8/1), Kilfenora (10/1), All The Chimneys (10/1), Spider Web (12/1), Sizing Titanium (14/1), Ontopoftheworld (14/1), Angus Milan (25/1), Asitsohappens (25/1)
Plenty of speed on here in the early stages with Effernock Lad, Asitsohappens, Sizing Titanium and ROBIN DES MANA up with the pace during the majority of this contest. The selection is clearly in good heart following a win after a remarkable recovery from jockey Jack Kennedy. The Barry Geraghty-ridden Don't Kick Nor Bite and distance winner First To Boogie can battle for the minor places.
