NOWWHATDOYOUTHINK's opening mark looks a handy one having finished third in the Champion Novices' Chase at Punchestown on his final start for Ray Hackett, and can provide his new yard with a record-extending sixth win in this race. Funiculi Funicula is a chaser who is firmly on the upgrade and looks the obvious threat as he bids for a hat-trick, while Henry de Bromhead holds a strong hand with Downmexicoway, Nouvotic, and Gorgeous Tom.
