Distance winner who landed a hat-trick of wins last month when landing 3m chase at Limerick on good ground following up hurdle and a win over fences at Punchestown earlier. Sets a high standard here.
74-rated Flat handicapper for Johnny Murtagh and has shown plenty of zip over fences recently landing a 2m1f beginners contest here last month. Big danger.
Just the one win in 19 starts, has a couple of decent chase efforts to his name when third to the useful Bamako Moriviere at Fairyhouse last October but may struggle from some way out here.
Plenty to like about the mares' starts over the larger obstacles recently including a win in a Tipperary beginners chase last month. Beaten since and liable to finish out of the places here.

Appears to be a straight match between the Wicklow Bloodstock-owned The Last Marju and the Henry De Bronhead-trained NICK LOST who landed a hat-trick of wins last month when landing 3m chase at Limerick on good ground following up a hurdle and a win over fences at Punchestown earlier. Jaime Sommers emerges as a likely third.
