Macs Legend had Clounts Glory behind when scoring at Ballynoe and the latter goes earlier. Lord Schnitzel won five out of six between the flags before pulling up at Cheltenham and is likely to take some beating. IT CAME TO PASS had his big day in the 2020 Foxhunters at Cheltenham and though he's never come close to a repeat and was pulled up back there last month he's a regular winner between the flags and his overall form looks to give him the edge. He had Down The Highway four lengths behind when scoring at Ballydenisk in January while Poli Roi was beaten a distance at Fairyhouse on Saturday.
