Verdict
The veteran Highest Benefit won this in 2020 having won here the previous month but has been out of form and was a long way behind Lessofdnegativity here last month with ARCTIC AMBITION (NAP) second. The latter was making his chasing debut and with that under his belt can go one better. The winner was supported to follow-up at Limerick on St Stephen's Day but unseated his rider. Presenting Point looked back to his best when beaten a nose over 3m1f at Thurles and a 3lb rise looks workable while Satin Sun makes his handicap debut after staying on strongly over 2m4f at Gowran.
