Dreal Deal's yard had a recent winner and the versatile performer ran well in a novice chase at Tipperary. GET MY DRIFT has been racing in strong company and wasn't beaten far behind multiple winner Final Orders in a Grade B handicap at Punchestown in February. Winning bumper Itswhatunitesus has won a couple of minor races over timber and makes his chasing debut as does Paul Marvel, who was beaten a long way when favourite for a three-mile hurdle at Down Royal. Percy Warner has been performing in strong company over fences and his experience should stand him in good stead here.
