Verdict

A glance through past winners suggests it takes a serious stayer to win this as they take no prisoners. A low weight is a must and last year's hero Whinstone Boy is rated a massive 20lb higher this time. Hangover and Siegemaster, who occupied the places, are much better off and should turn the tables. Dessie Hughes, who trains the latter, has a lively contender in TEN FIRES, who fits all the criteria. A winner over 2m6f at Thurles last February, he looks to have been aimed at this having run very well over an inadequate trip at Naas earlier this month, his first start since April. It's two years since Pomme Tiepy was landing Grade 2's at Leopardstown and Navan and he hasn't really made the expected progress though he looks set for a big run here. The ex-hunter Agus A Vic jumps well and stays forever but the biggest threat may emerge in the shape of Alpha Ridge, who has the vital touch of quality and will be better for a recent run at Punchestown, his first since September. Rocco's Hall was unfortunate to fall at the last when upsides the winner over 3m5f at Leopardstown on New Year's Day and providing he's no worse for the mishap he looks a serious contender.
