Alelchi Inois won his first five starts over fences before finding Grade 1 and 2 company much too tough. He looked back to his old self when beating a decent field of hurdlers at Cork earlier this month and will have been primed for this. Make A Track is in superb form and is only 4lb higher than his last victory in a handicap while Jonjo O'Neill sends It's A Gimme for another crack after he was well beaten a year ago. Jacksonslady didn't run well at the fixture a year ago but looks to have been primed for this having been absent since completing a double earlier in the year. Willie Mullins has plenty in the race with chances and it's one of them, THE PAPARRAZI KID, who is handed the vote. He beat the useful Felix Yonger in a Grade 2 novice chase at Limerick in December 2013 and though not seen since last November he goes well fresh and wouldn't have been aimed at this unless his trainer thought him capable of winning from a mark that looks on the low side. Rule The World, runner-up in the Irish National, is another who can go well.
