All fingers point towards the classy RATHVINDEN, who is presented with a fair opportunity to strike as he continues to learn his trade as a chaser. Conrad Hastings is also going the right way over the larger obstacles and can give the selection plenty to think about if he handles the ground, while Potters Point has already been brushed aside by Willie Mullins' candidate, so needs a bit of luck on his side if he is going to reverse the form. The West's Awake is unbeaten over fences but faces more of an acid test on this occasion.
