Paco Jack was the first to carry over 11st to victory in nine years when successful a year ago and low weights easily have the edge. One that fits that last statistic is AH YA BOY YA, who gained an overdue success at Kilbeggan last time under a fine ride from Alan Crowe. He can be a little tricky at times and didn't beat much that day but looks reasonably treated and should be a decent price. Shark Hanlon has made no secret of his hopes for Truckers Delight, who warmed up with a run on the flat at the Curragh last month. However, the nine-year-old hasn't had that much experience over fences and continues to climb the weights. Jack Finch found 2m1f at Killarney much too short last time and is much better at today's trip though some rain would greatly enhance his prospects. Alfa Beat has been in outstanding form over fences and hurdles but is now a massive 14lbs higher than when last scoring over the bigger obstacles at Wexford. Corrick Bridge started favourite for a beginners' chase here a year ago and ran well enough to finish runner-up to Whatever Next. Tony Martin will have him primed for this and he rates a big threat.
