Course winner that has also won over the trip. Solid and consistent of late since the turn of the year the Westerner gelding has plenty going for him here.
Distance winner who was beaten favourite last time out when finishing second of 18 beaten 5½L in a Thurles handicap chase last month. Has solid form in the conditions and sure to go close.
Not much to shout about in six dull performances for connections over the larger obstacles. Vast improvement needed to figure in first-time tongue-tie.
LUCKYINMILAN is quite capable of making all in this contest given that only Samson Bill may take him on for the lead. The selection was a beaten favourite by a rejuvenated Hawk Eye Dawn in a Thurles handicap chase last month beaten 5½L but can bounce back in this company. The ultra-consistent Spare Brakes and Samson Bill can hit the frame.
