Selected odds by:
Promising type. C&D winner. 4 wins from 8 runs this season. Won 9-runner novice chase (5/4) at Punchestown (15.8f, heavy) 34 days ago, easily. The one to beat.
|
Tailed-off last of 4 to Farouk D'alene in Ten Up Novices' Chase at Navan (24f, heavy, 80/1) 25 days ago. Back down in trip and faces another tough task here.
|
Smart hurdler. Tailed-off sixth of 8 to Galopin Des Champs in Scalp Novices' Chase at Leopardstown (21.3f, soft, 33/1) 41 days ago. Sights now lowered and he's the main danger to Ciel De Neige.
|
Fairly useful hurdler. 9/1, 19½ lengths fifth of 6 to The Goffer in Michael Purcell Memorial Novices' Hurdle here (20.7f, soft) 23 days ago. Makes chase debut. Yard also runs Presenting Bonnie.
|
Fair chaser. 4 wins from 11 runs this season. Latest win at Kilbeggan in September. Tailed-off last of 4 to Delvino in Gr 3 chase (50/1) at Naas (20.4f, heavy) 6 days ago. Looks up against it.

Forecasts
Ciel De Neige (4/11), French Dynamite (9/4), The Little Yank (25/1), Presenting Bonnie (100/1), Antey (100/1)
Though CIEL DE NEIGE won't have things entirely his own way here with French Dynamite in opposition, Willie Mullins' charge is nevertheless hard to oppse. The 7-y-o maintained his 100% record in this sphere with another professional performance at Punchestown last month and it's likely that we've yet to see the best of him. The Little Yank can pick up minor place money granted a clear round.
