13/8

First run since leaving Danny Brooke when career best when winning 11-runner novice chase (33/1) at Punchestown (22.7f, heavy) on debut over fences 41 days ago. No fluke about that and has the potential for even better

5/2

10/3

Fair hurdler. 4/1, sound start to her chase career third of 10 in maiden at Ballinrobe (23.3f, soft) in August. Off since but the fact the yard won the race last year provides some hope.

JASMIN DE COTTE shaped well in a competitive handicap at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting and might prove the answer to this rated novice. Ney won well on his chase debut for new trainer Edward Buckley and is feared most ahead of Will Do, another who hasn't shaped too badly in strong handicaps lately.
