Boss Robin
In good form in this sphere last year, winning back-to-back hunter chases that included a C&D success; point winner last month and arrives on the back of a narrow point defeat last week; best form is on slower ground but warrants respect.

Lisleigh Lad
Off the mark under rules with hunter chase win at Fairyhouse in November; pulled up in a point and has plenty to find on form but will handle the ground at least.

Runner-up behind Lisleigh Lad at Fairyhouse in November and third behind stablemate at Down Royal on St Stephen's Day; more required here but his trainer won this last year and O'Neill has a 22% strike-rate for the yard.

Won three points on the spin before finishing runner-up in a maiden hunter chase at Limerick three weeks ago (Rocky's Howya fourth); could go well over this longer trip and one of his point wins came on decent ground.
