Raise Hell was tried over 2m4f last time but could only plug on at one pace so may do better over fences. Mad Brian hasn't done much wrong despite his form figures and was only just run out of it by Morning Assembly at Naas on his hurdling debut. He's certain to improve and should get into the argument while Rory's Brother ran well behind Wingtips at Navan in December though he'll need to improve again. DEFY LOGIC has always been well regarded and justified that opinion with a very emphatic bumper success here in November. He's penalised for that and has to concede weight all round but he has dual entries at Cheltenham and should head there with another victory under his belt.
