Age: 8|  Weight: 11-6| J: Ruby Walsh| T: W P Mullins| OR:  145| D
9/10
Distance winner of a Listowel novice chase on soft ground in September. Solid and consistent sort who is likely to be popular in the market.
2
Horse silk
Clara Sorrento34
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade| D
11/1
Winner of a Punchestown novice hurdle over this trip on good ground over 18-months ago. Winner again last month of a 2m5f novice chase and is capable of another big run here with stable in fine form currently.

Horse silk
Winter Escape48
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-0| J: Mark Walsh| T: A A Howard| OR:  138
7/2
Promising hurdling career of two years ago failed to materialise with trainer-Alan King. Off the mark at the third time of asking over the larger obstacles in September at Galway. Improving sort.
4
Horse silk
Young Turkt27
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-0| J: D N Russell| T: J P O'Brien| OR:  126| D
8/1
Won for the second time in his career when landing a low-grade 2m7f Tipperary beginners chase last month. Much more needed here.
5
Horse silk
High Nellie29
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-10| J: Brian Hayes| T: M J Bowe| OR:  129| CD
33/1
Gallant C&D winner and is two from four over fences. Hurdling recently and will need to raise overall performance returning to the chase game.
6
Horse silk
10/1
Useful 124-rated hurdler last season who finished third of seven on chasing debut last month. Liable to find a couple stronger in this company.
7
Horse silk
Dawn In The Park34
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-7| J: S A Shortall| T: J P O'Brien| OR:  108
50/1
Step up to novice company is looking increasingly beyond the mare following desolate displays at Listowel and Roscommon. The win at Tramore in August beginning to look like a one-off.
8
Horse silk
Moonlight Escape28
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-7| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| C
8/1
One from four over fences and well held when stepping in to novice company in to a Grade 3 contest at Tipperary last month. Hard to place any faith in.

Forecasts

Robin Des Foret (9/10), Winter Escape (7/2), Young Turk (8/1), Moonlight Escape (8/1), Creation (10/1), Clara Sorrento (11/1), High Nellie (33/1), Dawn In The Park (50/1)

Verdict

The improving WINTER ESCAPE can build on his first win over the larger obstacles at Galway in September by taking this contest, receiving a crucial 6lb from possibly his nearest rival here Robin Des Foret. The Gigginstown pair Clara Sorrento and Young Turk can battle for the remaining place.
  1. Winter Escape
  2. Robin Des Foret
  3. Clara Sorrento
