Lecky Watson (G)
Quickly made up into a better chaser than hurdler last season, winning first 3 starts over fences including Broadway Novices' Chase at Cheltenham. Has found it tougher since, though, and up against it on these terms.

Stellar Story (G)
[B1T1]
Made a winning chase debut last season and developed into a smart novice, placed 3 times upped in grade including when runner-up in Broadway at Cheltenham. Highly tried this term and will appreciate the drop in class. Change of headgear an…

Jordans (G)
Smart runner-up in Grade 1 Mildmay Novices' Chase at Aintree final outing last season. Had a couple of spins over hurdles this term but pulled up back chasing last time (heavy). Bit to find with the principals.

Answer To Kayf (G)
Again flourished in the mud when landing 19-runner Troytown at Navan in November. Respectable fourth of 18 in Grade 3 handicap chase at Gowran next time, though this longer trip may not be ideal.

Captain Cody (G)
Smart chaser who landed Scottish Grand National last season. Promising third in Drinmore at Fairyhouse on return and shaped as if still in form when seventh in Paddy Power chase at Leopardstown. Let down by jumping at Gowran since.

Grangeclare West (G)
High-class chaser. Third in Grand National last season. Better for return when fourth in Grade 1 at Leopardstown but well held in Irish Gold Cup there next time. Expected to bounce back eased in grade.

Spanish Harlem (G)

Very smart chaser. 2 wins from 4 runs this season, including Kerry National at Listowel in September. Likely to have added another big win to his profile had he not departed in soft fashion at the last in in Grade 3 handicap at Gowran last…

Improved performer this season, building on his second to Spanish Harlem in the Kerry National with a win at Cheltenham. Excellent second in Coral Gold Cup at Newbury since and another big run expected.
