14/1
Has plenty of experienced over fences and broke his maiden when winning at Galway (soft) in August. Finished behind Dounikos at Limerick last time and others make more appeal today.

5/4
Was an early casualty on chasing debut but made amends when seeing off a useful hurdler over 2m4f at Navan (soft) last time out. One for the shortlist for leading connections in this contest.

6/1
Dual winner over hurdles and returning from over 13 months off the track when making a winning chase debut over 2m2f at Thurles (heavy) last month. Stepping up in grade today but remains unexposed and there's likely more to come.

Yet to win in eight starts over fences but ran well in a valuable 3m5f handicap chase at Fairyhouse (soft) last month. Has placed over shorter in the past but likely to find a few too good today.

7/1
Maiden hurdle winner on heavy ground here 11 months ago and made a winning debut over fences in a hot beginners contest at Naas (2m3f, soft-to-heavy) last time out. Form of that looks strong and he is one to note stepping up in grade.

Made a winning debut over fences when successful over 2m5f at Fairyhouse (soft) last month. Second and third have both won since and he is one to note for leading connections today.

13:00 Punchestown - 13 January 2018 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

INVITATION ONLY appears to be the pick of the Willie Mullins trio and he can register his second success over fences in this competitive looking Grade 3 contest. The selection made his first completion over fences a winning one at Navan last time out and he can get the better of Gordon Elliott's Mossback who looked an improved performer when winning a hot beginners contest at Naas on his chase debut in November. The Storyteller is another to have won a beginners contest last time out and he can get the better of Koshari in the battle for third place.
