Dalton Highway won this in 2019 and also scored over track and trip last June. He stays extreme trips and will enjoy the conditions so should get into contention. Joe Murphy's horses have been running well and Brazos, who stays long distances, contributed to the tally when scoring over timber at Navan. Rock De Baune was in fine form when last seen back in 2019 but this can go to the lightly-raced and progressive COLTOR. A stable companion of Dalton Highway, Colin Keane takes the ride on the four-year-old, a winner at Killarney in October and over hurdles on heavy ground in January, though his best run came when a close fifth in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham. Pin Your Hopes has won over 1m4f and was staying on over 2f shorter at Leopardstown though has never been this far and though Foveros has a very light weight he hasn't been in the best of form over hurdles.
