Chally Chute is the only course and distance winner though another 10 have won over different trips here. The five-year-old completed a hat-trick in the autumn and ran well on his reappearance at Tipperary in April. Maze Runner, who has won over 2m here, represents Willie Mullins along with Mr Escobar, a winner over this trip at Dundalk for Joe Murray. The latter hung left throughout when a well-supported favourite on Polytrack at Lingfield on his first start for the yard and could be on a nice mark here. TEED UP's last run came in the November Handicap at Doncaster when runner-up. A winner and runner-up over hurdles at last year's Galway Festival, he can take this before heading back to Ballybrit. Dame Rapide, fourth in this last year, has won twice over 1m6f here and could find this on the short side but Safecracker was conceding 10lb when beaten a neck over this trip at Cork and can get into the money. Smooth Tom, from a stable in top form, has been staying on strongly over 1m2f.
