Macgiloney
Multiple winner but burdened with a tough handicap mark and drier ground suits.

Bocelli's Voice
Out of the weights when a 14l third at Kilbeggan and off his correct mark (2lb lower than now) he was runner-up at Wexford (2m; probably stays this far); seems in good nick and enters the reckoning.

King Ferdinand
Returned from his break over hurdles and appreciated the return to fences when an emphatic winner at Killarney (2m5f, yielding); handicapper didn't hold back with a 9lb rise but this 8yo might be improving (now 3-7 as a chaser).

Shantou Show
The winner of two hunter chases; not offered a great deal in his two handicaps, especially last time.

Toofareastiswest
Won over 3m1f at Thurles (yielding) in December and let down by his jumping next time; might just need this after a period on the sidelines.

Neveradullmoment
Not the easiest to win with and his rider got a whip ban when he prevailed narrowly over hurdles here last month (2m, soft); off the same mark for this return to chasing and, although 0-10 in this discipline, he has been placed; trip won't be an issue.

Marronstown
Came clear in a 3m handicap chase at Punchestown but dropped away disappointingly off this 7lb higher mark at Wexford; if he can recapture that penultimate effort then he'd be a player.

Just Three
Still early days over fences and this should be more realistic than beginners' assignments; however, only ran three days ago and others are safer.

- Lake Chad
- B Hayes / P Fenton

129
|
14/1 |
Lake Chad
Up-and-down profile but comfortably won a 2m6f handicap chase at Tramore (good) three weeks ago; up 8lb and this softer surface might not be ideal.

- C P Millar / D Queally

Centurion Steel
Clear at one point when an 11l third at Downpatrick three months ago (2m7f, good); softer ground here isn't favourable.

- Natural Breeze
- S D Torrens / P J Rothwell

|
11/1 |
Natural Breeze
Only 2-31; 0-3 over fences and was no match for Lake Chad at Tramore three weeks ago; on the plus side, he does have a pull at the weights with the winner and he might be the happier of the two on this softer ground.
