Won valuable novice handicap on this card last year (3m, soft) and back to form at Fairyhouse last month when putting in good round of jumping to land 3m rated contest on yielding; holds Fairyhouse/Aintree National entries and although this trip is on the short side, he could go well.

Veteran has had several trainers, winning first three starts for current yard in banks race, handicap hurdle and 3m Fairyhouse handicap chase in October; ran well for long way back over the banks at Punchestown following month (blood in nostrils) and given a break since; may be high enough in the handicap now.

Only a 6yo but has banked plenty of experience chasing, highlight being 3m Kerry National win in September; didn't get home over 3m2f in Hennessy at Newbury in November and has had time off since; goes well fresh and could make a bold bid.

Irish challenger; solid record in useful handicap chases this term, finishing second twice (2m5f/2m6f) before gamely going one better in the Kerry National at Limerick (3m, good; wore second-time blinkers); highly unexposed over 3m+ and in the headgear; could well have more to offer; interesting.
