Verdict

A tight affair. EL CHAMPO shaped as if still in good form when fourth on his Limerick chase debut over Christmas and might be able to provide Philip Rothwell with a second successive win in this contest. Striking didn't figure at Leopardstown over Christmas but had run well at Punchestown prior to that and is respected with Jack Kennedy stepping in for the ride. Last week's Limerick scorer Starman is another who should have a say.
