Seskin Flyer has won over the course and distance though he's on a long losing run. Arctic Light won over hurdles here in April and is only 2lb higher than when beaten a head over fences at Kilbeggan in August. Shopping Around has won three times over timber and shown ability over fences so is on the shortlist along with Allardyce, who has much more experience over the bigger obstacles than most of these. DYNAMIC ALLEN landed a Downpatrick beginner's chase before a very good run in a handicap back there and can get back to winning ways though Broder's recent placed effort at Clonmel puts him in the frame.
