MR NOSIE, a Group 1 novice hurdle winner way back in 2006, returned from a five-year break in January and has run well over fences. He didn't look quite at his best at the Festival here last month but this looks easier. Your Busy has threatened to win a chase on several occasions and came close at Ballinrobe on Sunday so must be a threat while Regal Ambition, who didn't do much when sent over fences last year, has another go after showing improved form over timber. Winning point-to-pointer Winston Churchill ran well enough behind Traffic Article at Tramore to suggest he can find a race over the bigger obstacles.
