Chris's Dream⁸³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 160| D

3/1

Won for the third time over fences when landing a Navan handicap chase on soft ground over a similar trip when last seen in November. Missed an engagement in the Paddy Power Gold Cup because of the ground.

Form: 1215-P1

Real Steel²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 164| D

1/1

Winner of a couple of Grade 2 contests over the larger obstacles since November. Highest rated chaser in the field. Yard have landed the spoils in this contest on two occasions in the last five years.

Form: 62-1141

Snow Falcon⁶⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: D F O'Regan| T: N Meade| OR: 157| CD

20/1

Gutsy and genuine chaser, still winning for connections this season landing the Grade 2 Champion chase over C&D back in October. Yard last won this race in 2007 with Watson Lake.

Form: 14-6156

Tout Est Permis^p¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Donagh Meyler| T: N Meade| OR: 155| C

12/1

Tough handicapper has had to settle for minor honours behind Treacysenniscorthy in December and more recently earlier this month in contests both run at Leopardstown. Looks a little vulnerable in this company.

Form: 8-34244

Kaiser Black^t³⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: James J Doyle| T: P M J Doyle| OR: 155| D

22/1

Winner of three of his last four starts over the larger obstacles including a win when last seen in a Grade 3 contest at Naas in March last year. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 4/21121-

Death Duty²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR: 151| D

4/1

Possibly needed the run on return to action at this venue last month following an absence of 758 days. Yard have won this contest on just one occasion in 2013 with Chicago Grey when the race was run at Navan.

Form: 3111F/4

Shattered Love^p1,t⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Mark Walsh| T: G Elliott| OR: 151| D

8/1

Place claims for the winner of seven of her 17 starts over fences. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of progression needed to produce a shock here.

Form: 9P-5173

Forecasts

Real Steel (1/1), Chris's Dream (3/1), Death Duty (4/1), Shattered Love (8/1), Tout Est Permis (12/1), Snow Falcon (20/1), Kaiser Black (22/1)

REAL STEEL can add to his couple of Grade 2 wins over fences this season by landing the spoils here ahead of his nearest rival Chris's Dream. The Willie Mullins-trained seven-year-old is the highest rated in the field racing 4lb superior to his biggest danger who represents the yard who won this contest 12 months ago with Monalee. The Gordon Elliott-yard who have won this contest on just one occasion in 2013 with Chicago Grey when the race was run at Navan can compete for the remaining prize money with his pair Death Duty and the mare, Shattered Love.
