A 100/1 chance won this last year though that appears unlikely this time. DECIMATION couldn't quite get to Wide Receiver at Leopardstown on St Stephen's Day but the winner had form in much stronger company earlier so Henry De Bromhead's charge can go one better. Willie Mullins' Arctic Warrior is related to the stable's smart hurdler Arctic Fire and is one to note on his debut but winning bumper Hallowed Star will need to perform better than on his hurdling debut when well behind the selection. Kinnegad Lad landed a bumper at Musselburgh in December while Fire Squadron, who is related to four winning jumpers, is a newcomer to note for Gordon Elliott.
