It was a pretty strong novice chase that HO MY LORD contested on his second run for this yard at Fairyhouse in December and he is appealing back from a break here. Heroes Rise made a positive start to his chase career when runner-up at Downpatrick and he is second choice. Grand Soir and likely improver Luimneach are others to note.
