Beau Walking
0-9 under rules; has shown ability; keen when brought down last time; this is a huge ask.

Black Bamboo
Sxith in last year's Martin Pipe before good runs at Aintree and Punchestown; however, recent chase debut was low key and may need more time in this sphere.

Blizzard Of Oz
Progressive in bumpers and over timber and lots to like about his chase debut when only beaten roughly 2l by stablemate Lecky Watson; should build on that but Slevin and Townend, retained jockeys for owner and trainer respectively, both look elsewhere.

Chapeau De Soleil
Signed off last season with Listed handicap hurdle success at the Punchestown Festival; finished just in front of Quai De Bourbon on last month's return but Townend seemingly prefers that stablemate again; ground versatile.

Chigorin
Maiden hurdle winner last year before blowing out at the Cheltenham Festival; beaten 11l when runner-up to Champ Kiely on New Year's Day and should come on for that.

Cleatus Poolaw
Maiden hurdle winner last season but hasn't looked the most natural in two chase starts so far, coming down at Tipperary and made a bad mistake when beaten at Fairyhouse since; plenty to find.

Musta Lovea Lovea
20-race maiden under rules and has a massive task on chase debut here.

Ocastle Des Mottes
Smart hurdle form in France; didn't kick on over timber for new yard last season but ran a cracker behind Ballyburn on chase debut and interesting that Slevin seemingly prefers him to Blizzard Of Oz.

4/5 |
Quai De Bourbon
3-4 over timber since joining this yard and was only beaten 1l on chase debut when just behind stablemate Chapeau De Soleil at Leopardstown last month; jumping needs to improve but interesting that Townend keeps the faith amongst some promising stablemates and that counts for plenty.

Union Station
Promise without winning in maiden hurdles and might have needed his return over timber but this looks difficult on chase debut.

Western Diego
Point winner; won bumper on yard debut and added a maiden hurdle success last term; respectable chase debut at Leopardstown last month but more required and he's down the order on jockey bookings.

Won maiden hurdle at Tipperary two seasons ago and Flat winner since but hasn't shown the required form to be considered here.

Implicit
Maiden hurdle winner who followed up on handicap debut towards the end of last season; however, failed to complete in five of her six starts since and was tailed off on the other occasion.

Lady Bresil
Maiden hurdle winner at the end of last term and not disgraced in two hurdle starts this campaign but very tough ask on chase debut now.
