Found A Fifty (G)
High-class chaser. Career best when winning 5-runner Hilly Way Chase at Cork (17f, soft, 3/1) 20 days ago by 1½ lengths from Majborough, his superior jumping proving the key.

Marine Nationale (G)
[T]
Unbeaten in bumpers/over hurdles and he developed into a top-class chaser last season, gaining an emotional success in Queen Mother Champion Chase in March. Followed up in Grade 1 at Punchestown in April and he's the one to beat again on h…

Solness (G)
[PT]
High-class chaser who had Marine Nationale behind him when winning this last year but that same rival comfortably got the better of him at Cheltenham and Punchestown in the spring. Off 8 months.

Only By Night (M)
[P1]
Smart chaser. 4/1, career best when winning 5-runner Poplar Square Chase at Naas (16f, soft) 48 days ago by short head from Champ Kiely, just holding on. Cheekpieces on 1st time. This demands a bit more.
