Hasn't run over jumps for 616 days and not run anywhere for more than 300 days. Was a winner of a 2m4f good ground beginners' chase at Punchestown in October 2015 when last spotted in this sphere. Will be some achievement to return and concede weight all round.
Has won here over this trip on the Flat back in 2013, First two starts over fences were promising but less so in two outings late last year after switching to this yard. Has some work to do on return.
Three wins from nine starts over fences, including last two, one of which came over this C&D a year ago. Returned from a break with solid over 1m4f on the Flat at Tipperary last month and should be ready now for this.
Won hurdles race over C&D last month, denied last week at Roscommon when seeking hat-trick in that sphere. Hasn't previously looked as sure of himself over fences however and so has plenty to prove now switched.
Limited ability shown in three starts over fences last year, will need to improve on this return to action of hoping to play a leading role.
One win from seven over fences but was well beaten last month over C&D and races off the same mark now. Others are preferred.
Won over C&D last month off an 8lb lower mark but seemed to have plenty in hand. Since run solid race over hurdles and looks to be holding a good chance now back over the larger obstacles.
Has coped well enough in three chase starts, two of which have been over 2m4f, dropped in trip last time at Clonmel (2m1f, good) and finished 15L down on the winner. Needs a bit of improvement to feature when it matters.
Forecasts
Mr Picotee (11/4), Mullinavat (10/3), Lilly The Lioness (9/2), Marchese Marconi (11/2), Bitview Colin (7/1), Don Vincenzo (12/1), Archive (14/1), Beautiful Ben (20/1)
Mr Picotee has been in sparkling form over timber recently and comes here with a chance but he must prove he's as adept over these obstacles. Mullinavat scored over C&D last month and can again go well despite a hike in the weights but this might go the way of LILLY THE LIONESS, she hasn't run over fences for a while but has won her last two including over C&D and showed herself to be in good heart with a spin on the Flat at Tipperary recently, ensuring she's ready to roll here.
- Lilly The Lioness
- Mullinavat
- Mr Picotee
