Smart chaser who was third in last season's Irish Grand National. Pulled up in Troytown and Thyestes this winter but capable of bouncing back in these calmer waters.
Useful chaser. Latest win in chase here in November. 33/1, ninth of 14 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (17f, soft) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip.
Blinkered for 1st time, very good third of 14 in handicap chase (11/1) at Thurles (21f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Should go well if the blinkers work again.

Forecasts
Quai De Bourbon (8/13), Jigoro (11/4), Drumgill (10/3)
QUAI DE BOURBON is taken to bounce back to form away from top handicap company and prove too strong for Jigoro.
