Verdict

It could be worth siding with MAXXUM, who was a winner of the first of his two chase starts last year and has since improved over hurdles, bagging valuable listed handicaps at Leopardstown and Punchestown in recent months. The Willie Mullins-trained pair Saint Sam and Easy Game both possess a touch of class and will be big threats if on-song. The former is feared most, despite being passed over by Paul Townend.

  1. MAXXUM (IRE)
  2. SAINT SAM (FR)
  3. EASY GAME (FR)
