Plenty of these arrive in good form including bottom weight Le Hachette, a winner and runner-up three times in her last six starts. She was beaten almost 5l by Pivotal Flame at Ballinrobe and the latter just about holds the call again despite an 8lb rise. Peaches And Cream hasn't proved he stays this far but wasn't stopping over 2m4f at Listowel while Russian Bill bounced back to form over fences at Roscommon though is on a higher mark back over timber. FITZHENRY (NAP) is another chaser but showed he could be winning over hurdles when beaten a head at Fairyhouse last January. Placed in the Paddy Power at Leopardstown, he can revert to the smaller obstacles on 13lb lower and gets the nod to make a successful reappearance.
