Show odds
Solid and consistent hurdler who won the Grade 3 Klarion Davis Novice chase at Navan in December. Distance winner and another bold show looks likely here.
3¾L behind Tombstone in December and thought enough of to take his chance in the Grade 1 Racing Post novice chase at Leopardstown over Christmas. Winner last time out and likely to go well again.
Justified strong favouritism when winning a nine-runner Fairyhouse beginners chase last month staying on well to win comfortably. Another bold show looks likely.
Driven clear before the last before going on to win comfortably in a Fairyhouse beginners chase in December following an eight-month break. Capable of having his say on return but needs to tidy up his jumping.
Put two falls towards the end of the year when taking a Gowran Park beginners chase by 3½L from De Plotting Shed. Market likely to be the best guide.
Forecasts
Jett (5/2), Montalbano (5/2), Tombstone (10/3), Cadmium (5/1), Castlegrace Paddy (11/2)
A fascinating installment of this Listed contest with possibly MONTALBANO given the office by jockey Paul Townend to make all here over 2m2f. The Monsieur Bond gelding won a a Gowran Park beginners chase by 3½L from the well-thought of De Plotting Shed back in second. Jett and Tombstone have plenty of ability but may have to settle for the minor honours.
