    Verdict
    Behind Fact To File on reappearance but this dual Cheltenham Gold Cup winner looked back to his best when proving 7½ lengths too strong for his reopposing stable-companion in the Savills here over Christmas. Hard to beat as he bids for a hat-trick of wins in this race.

    Verdict
    Top-class chaser who had Galopin Des Champs behind him when winning the John Durkan at Punchestown on reappearance but his stablemate proved 7½ lengths too strong for him in the Savills here over Christmas. It might be a similar story again.

    Verdict
    Had an excellent first campaign over fences, finishing second Fact To File and Spillane's Tower in Grade 1 novices at Cheltenham and Punchestown in the spring. Shaped as if run was just needed when 5 lengths second to Embassy Gardens on Tramore reappearance on New Year's Day. Should be spot on now.

    Very smart chaser. 9/1, career best when winning 7-runner New Year's Day Chase at Tramore (22.8f, heavy) 31 days ago by 5 lengths from Monty's Star, going with enthusiasm.

    Verdict
    High-class chaser. 11/1, creditable 15¼ lengths fifth of 9 to Galopin Des Champs in Savills here (good to soft) over Christmas, barely adequate test. The ground might be more testing this time, which would help.

    Last season's King George winner. As good as ever when second in the Champion Chase at Down Royal (3m, good to soft) in November and not disgraced back hurdling at the Christmas meeting here.

    Added to his 2023 Irish Grand National success when landing the Grand National at Aintree last April but he made an underwhelming return to action when pulled up in the Savills over Christmas. Can only watch after that.
