Chiefs Kingdom's opening run at Thurles behind Il Etait Temps puts him in the frame though he didn't run up to that form at Leopardstown. Ideal De Ciergues finished just in front of him in the former event and though fourth in a huge field at Naas next time was beaten 28 lengths. MAKE THE PLAN had shown glimmers of ability before an excellent run at Ballinrobe and won't need to improve much to get off the mark though Nene River is greatly respected having joined Emmet Mullis since scoring between the flags. Valleyoftheeagles is one to keep an eye on in the market after an eye-catching run at Kilbeggan and Caradoc, four-times a winner in the UK, is another to note.
