Plenty are in with a shout but HGRANCA DE THAIX looks to have got in lightly back hurdling here after an impressive chasing victory at Punchestown so earns the vote. The Willie Mullins-trained duo Four Clearn Aces (second choice) and Coole Cherry can both have a say and head the list of dangers, with Iceberg Theory, Desert Cave and Early Arrival also in the picture.
