4/1
Has been running consistently well in good company, including when third in Christmas Hurdle at this trip last month. Must concede 5lb to runner-up Clondaw Warrior now which makes this tougher.
2
Horse silk
De Plotting Shed29
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-6| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G Elliott| OR:  150
11/1
Consistent performer but has plenty on in order to turn around last month's Leopardstown form with a couple of these rivals.

Clondaw Warriorh29
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-3| J: Ruby Walsh| T: W P Mullins| OR:  159
11/10
Gallant runner-up to high class stablemate Vroum Vroum Mag at Leopardstown, trainer appears sweet on his chances in this and stable jockey takes the ride, all clues worth heeding.

Age: 11|  Weight: 11-3| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR:  148
12/1
Plenty of ability and won this race in 2015 but now 11-years-old and will do well to come home best again.

66/1
No match for Snow Falcon and Clondaw Warrior last month at Leopardstown, stiff ask again and probably playing for minor money at best.
6

Shaneshill29
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-3| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR:  156
9/4
Was running a big race in the Christmas Hurdle alongside some of these when falling heavily at the final flight. Stable jockey looks elsewhere but cannot be written off if no ill effects from that tumble.

Forecasts

Clondaw Warrior (11/10), Shaneshill (9/4), Snow Falcon (4/1), De Plotting Shed (11/1), Dedigout (12/1), Milsean (66/1)

Verdict

A few of these lock horns once more after playing supporting roles in the Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown over this trip. It has to be worth nothing that the champion jockey sides with CLONDAW WARRIOR and his trainer has also been bullish on his chances of success here. Snow Falcon should run another big race and isn't overlooked easily while Shaneshill was bang in contention in that Leopardstown contest when crashing out at the last. Former winner Dedigout and De Plotting Shed are capable of going well but may need some of the market principles to falter. 1. Clondaw Warrior 2. Shaneshill 3. Snow Falcon
