Four-time winner is a course victor; last win was at Listowel (2m4f, yielding to soft) in September of last year off 118; only 1lb higher now but didn't show much in last two outings and he's shoving on in years. |

11st 0lb |
Last year's winner returns to defend his crown off a 3lb higher mark; only run since came a month ago at Killarney and that was surely a prep run for a repeat bid in this; slight concern that he goes without his usual hood but he has less questions to answer than quite a few of these. |

Won at Clonmel (2m4f, heavy) and Naas (3m1f Leinster National, soft) on first two starts for Gavin Cromwell, before non-stayer in the Irish National; always behind in top 2m4f handicap on good at Cheltenham on return but he was 33-1 that day and should be a lot more interesting back up in trip this time, for Irish trainer who had the runner-up in this race last year. |

Three-time winner over hurdles for Peter Fahey; 0-9 in chases but promising effort at Listowel in a much stronger race than this last time out (17.5f, good) and in off the same mark here; big chance on that form and he has run well on testing ground before; claims. |
