Looks a classier renewal than usual as to the fore of the market are relative youngsters considering the last five winners of this race were aged 14,11,15,11 and 12! You have to go back to 2018 to the last time trainer Enda Bolger won this race but that was the fourteenth time he'd won it since 1997 and for me his Stealthy Tom is the one for an each way punt. He was second beaten just a neck in this to Vital Island two years ago, but is slightly better off in the weights today. Has won a cross country chase race at this course but swerves a Saturday entry in this year's cross country race to run here. Won in first time blinkers some years ago but has not worn them in recent races so interesting they are back on now and if livening him up again can run a big race and looks an each way banker.

Has run some cracking races in firstly a Listed event and then some real competitive big field handicaps finishing 2254 on last four starts and deserves to land a big one soon. That fifth was a staying on run in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham suggesting a step up to 3m would suit and next run at Aintree when getting 3m for the first time backed that opionion up with an unlucky in running fourth. Mark Walsh's choice of the JP McManus battalion and must go close here. Looks still well handicapped to me as is just 1lb higher than those two big Festival runs in the UK off his British mark of 132 and has to be the each way banker here with plenty of places on offer. Proved stamina for this trip and drying ground not an issue and should go well if not over the top and can finally nail a decent pot.

Listed winner in France and only lightly raced so obviously have t seen the best of her yet. Was only 7th in the Dawn Run Mares' Novice Hurdle at Cheltenham and though behind Sixandahalf and Karoline Banbou there had improved since. Was third in the Grade 1 Honeysuckle at the Fairyhouse Grand National meeting recently reversing the form with Karoline Banbou emphatically and coukd still e on the improve. With Paul Townend back on now who is 1/1 on the horse having won a Clonmel maiden hurdle on her this rates a first class punt in this as looks progressive. Drop in trip and grade shouldn't do her chances any harm either and though Sixandahalf is a stand out on form the way Willie Mullins have gone this week you can't rule her out. Looks a confident place play at least anyway.
