Willie Mullins won this race last year and his unbeaten LISTEN DEAR should make another bold bid. She's won three chase starts in good fashion and is unlikely to be put off if she has to scrap. Last month's C&D winner Slowmotion is an obvious danger and should have further improvement on just her third chase outing. Keppols Queen suffered a final fence fall recently but might have had her concentration pricked by the loose horse alongside, she should go well now. Elusive Ivy scored in a handicap recently and is closely matched with Slowmotion on form.
