Vaureal (G)
Fair chaser. Latest win in chase at Fairyhouse in November. 9/1, below form seventh of 13 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (24.4f, good to soft) 37 days ago, doing too much too soon. Readily passed over.

Cavalry Master (G)
[TP]
Fair chaser. Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form eighth of 15 in minor event chase (125/1) at this course (24.4f, soft) 73 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

[T1P]
Useful chaser. 3/1, below form fourth of 11 in minor event chase at this course (24.4f, good to soft) on latest start under Rules 9 months ago. Runner-up twice between the flags last month and needs considering in a first-time tongue strap.

[T]
Very smart chaser on his day. Thirteenth of 15 in a cross-country handicap chase (9/1) at Cheltenham (29.2f, good to soft) on latest start under Rules 13 months ago. Placed both starts for new yard in points in November and merits respect …

[T]
Useful chaser. Below form seventh of 16 in hunter chase (9/2) at Down Royal (24f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Good second here on penultimate start and he's a must for the shortlist.
