LASCOCAR has held his form that saw the Oscar gelding land the spoils in this contest 12-months ago and the Liam Cusack-trained 11-year-old comes here off the back of a 2¾L in a Kilbeggan handicap chase earlier this month. The Peter Fahy-trained Small World can give the selection the most to think about in the closing stages, while last time out winner, Lizzies Champ, Court Artist from the Willie Mullins yard and top weight Babbling Stream all deserve consideration.
