MELON is without a win since 2019 but showed he is as good as ever when fourth to Galvin in the Savills Chase at Leopardstown over Christmas and can gain an overdue success here. Daly Tiger appeals as the one to chase home Willie Mullins' high-class chaser reverted to fences, with Chatham Street Lad not discounted either now he drops back in trip.
