SAINT ROI caught the eye running in a handicap chase for the first time when fourth at Fairyhouse 2 starts back and the form he showed when third in the Arkle 12 months ago suggests he's on a good mark. Fast-improving novice Libberty Hunter could still be in front of the handicapper so is a must for the shortlist, while Madara is also on the upgrade and had a bit to spare when seeing off Path d'Oroux and Solness at Leopardstown.
