No Time To Wait (G)
[TV]
Error-prone sort was runner-up twice in this company in the summer. 50/1, thirteenth of 28 in Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown (24.4f, good) 56 days ago. This is more his level but perhaps vulnerable to less-exposed types.

Chigorin (G)
[P]
Promising second at Fairyhouse on chase debut but failed to kick on in 3 subsequent outings. Bit to prove returning from almost a year off.

Showurappreciation (G)
Career best when easily winning 13-runner handicap chase at Punchestown (22.6f, heavy, 5/1) 41 days ago, despite having to overcome positional bias. Progressing recently and makes appeal again from 10 lb higher mark.

Nelson County (G)
FAV
Won big-field handicap hurdle at Cork on final outing last season and is already better over fences, suited by way race developed when winning 9-runner novice chase at this course (21.7f, soft) 38 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Rokathir (G)
Much improved on just his second chase outing when winning 17-runner event (14/1) at Navan (24f, heavy) 13 days ago. Stable in good form. Up 15 lb but is open to further progress.

Whatcouldhavebeen (M)

Useful winner at 22f over hurdles but well below that level so far over fences, fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Down Royal (24f, heavy) on latest start 32 days ago.

Much improved when winning here on return but has struggled all 3 starts since and is passed over once again.

Kings Hill (G)
Was a useful hurdler but yet to really make an impact over fences, found wanting for stamina when 33 lengths fifth of 17 to Rokathir in handicap chase (28/1) at Navan (24f, heavy) 13 days ago. Opposable upped even further in trip this time.

Onlymammycanloveme (G)
Successful sole outing in points and fair winner at 19f over hurdles. Ran much better than on chasing debut when third of 11 in maiden at Fairyhouse (16.2f, heavy, 22/1) and can do better now handicapping.
