Hareth ran with great promise at Navan recently but that came off the back of a long absence and so there is some risk attached to him in this contest. Lets High Five It showed some promise two runs back over this trip and should be better back at 2m again while Tidy Zag is going in the opposite direction having run well over a searching test at Punchestown last time out. LIZZIES CHAMP had more than 6L to spare when winning over C&D at Christmas and can be forgiven a lacklustre effort over a much longer trip since. Back here, he's given the nod to go in again.
