    Verdict

    DEIREADH RE boasts some very decent form over hurdles, winning a Grade 2 novice event at Cheltenham in December when Brass Tax was back in fourth. Fifth in a Grade 3 handicap at Aintree on his latest outing, he can make a winning start to his chase career though Same Difference is also a smart prospect over fences and comes here off the back of a confidence-boosting success over the smaller obstacles at Ffos Las. Al Co is a bit more exposed than his rivals but is another with winning form over hurdles and he adds to the interest in a competitive-looking race, despite the small number of entries.
