JARRY D'HONNEUR won three times over hurdles in France and has gained easy victories over fences at Punchestown and Navan for Willie Mullins. He ran well for a long way in a Grade 1 at Punchestown and the fact that he hasn't run since May of last year is rarely a problem for one from his yard. Art Of Payroll has the advantage of race fitness and he's reverted to chasing in very good form. His latest close second to Rogue Trader at Punchestown was his best run so far and he'll take advantage if the selection isn't ready. Dandridge won a lucrative handicap at Doncaster in January then just failed in top handicaps at Cheltenham and Aintree. He's run poorly in his two subsequent starts but a return to form would see him in the shake-up. Peoples Park scored at Ballinrobe in May and will have needed his comeback in October, though this looks tougher, while it's two years since Lough Dearg was completing a hat-trick and he's still higher in the weights.
