Chin'up is a half-brother to a jumps winner in France but will need to be above average to prevent this being another match-up between the Mullins and Elliott teams. Getareason was second over 2m4f on the point-to-point course at Punchestown just over a year ago and is likely to be fully wound-up but GLOBAL JACKPOT has the more recent form. He won at Maintown in December and the second has won a bumper and a maiden hurdle since so he gets the nod.
