It's difficult to get away from the chances of ESCARIA TEN who finished third of 16 beaten 9¾L behind Diol Ker on hurdling debut in November. The race has produced the second, Monkfish, fourth place Opposites Attract, the fifth, Marshalled and sixth placed Eleazar Des Neiges to win since. The Willie Mullins-trained Minella Encore can improve on a pleasing return at Punchestown in November for a trainer who has a 43% strike rate at this meeting in the last three years, securing a double in 2018 with Squadron Commander and Livelovelaugh. Deal With It, from a long break and the gallant Shanwalla can compete for remaining prize money.
