Triple point-to-point winner He's A Delight has done well in his two bumper starts and should make a decent jumper in time. He is comfortably the best of those with experience but this is likely to go to a newcomer and the betting should prove a good guide. The Night Manager hails from a family of top-class chasers and may need more time but Augustus Gibbons has enough pace in his pedigree for this and is one to note. Saoirse's Sister hails from a yard that can get one ready but as ever in these events it's Willie Mullins who can hold the key with CAPISCI, a half-brother to winning jumper Storm Of Applause and out of a winning hurdler.
