Raz De Maree won this last year and also in 2012 while Tulsa Jack was successful in 2015. Neither enter the fray in the best of form but this is a very tough contest and they shouldn't be dismissed. King's Song arrives on a feather weight despite a massive 16lb rise for last month's facile Punchestown victory. That was his first run for Gordon Elliott and there should be much more to come. RACING PULSE could be another handicap snip for Willie Mullins. Once a very promising staying chaser, he's had more letters than numbers in his form figures in recent times but, now having his first start for the champion trainer and racing from an 18lbs lower mark than his peak, he looks the one to be on. A Sizing Network didn't win in 15 starts over fences but has made up for it with a double in recent weeks though a 10lb rise for his latest success may stop him in his tracks. Arkwrisht had beaten the latter easily at Kilbeggan in August before a tremendous run in the Kerry National but was never jumping with any fluency at Limerick.
