5/1

Very smart chaser. 11/2, failed to come on for his reappearance run when third of 6 in minor event chase at Windsor (22.2f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Certainly capable of playing a part if stepping up on that effort.

Form: F/317-63

Saint Sam^h⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 161| BF| CD

2/5

High-class chaser who was successful twice over hurdles before bringing up the hat-trick in Clonmel Oil Chase (20.8f) in November. Far from disgraced when second of 3 in minor event hurdle at Punchestown (19f) 46 days ago and he's a big player back over larger obstacles.

Form: 6-21112

9/2

Very smart chaser who stepped up on his reappearance run when 6 lengths second of 7 to Appreciate It in Kinloch Brae Chase at Thurles (20.9f, good, 11/2) 27 days ago. Respected with a repeat.

Forecasts

Saint Sam (2/5), Classic Getaway (9/2), Journey With Me (5/1)

Having brought up a hurdles/chase hat-trick at Clonmel in November, SAINT SAM lost little caste in defeat when runner-up back over hurdles at Punchestown 46 days ago. He can quickly resume winning ways, with his stablemate Classic Getaway selected to provide the chief threat.
