My Manekineko won this last year and defied the years to score over fences at Navan a fortnight ago. Winning point-to-pointer Fiston Des Issards hasn't shown much over timber but makes his handicap debut while Sight Not Seen's latest head defeat came in a claiming hurdle. WILLYOUWALKWITHME has gained both victories here, beating Fassbender easily in September but beaten by the runner-up on a return visit in October. He has an absence to overcome but may prove just too good for Dragon's Pass, who has produced his best form at Navan. Peckham Springs was only beaten a length into fifth last time and may do best of the remainder.
