FUTURUM REGEM, a winner over 2m6f at Navan in November, returned to score over 2m4f there last week when getting up close home. The longer trip will suit and he's progressing enough to complete a hat-trick. Pour Pavore is another improving type stepping up in trip though an 11lb rise for a head victory at Clonmel may be enough prevent a three-timer. Willie Mullins won this last year and Maze Runner is greatly respected having won a Grade B handicap here in February. The four-year-old Duffle Coat was in superb form in the autumn last year completing a four-timer in a Grade 2 Triumph Hurdle trial at Cheltenham while Gentlemansgame finished runner-up in a Grade 1 novices' hurdle here in February. First reserve Ardhill, very impressive over slightly shorter at Ascot, would be a threat to all if getting a run.
