Jocular finished second over 1m6f at Killarney but was later awarded the race when the winner was found to have carried the wrong weight. He has been raised 6lb and this looks tougher. Papa's Way has no problems with the trip though some rain would be welcomed by connections but WINTER LION prefers good ground. He landed a maiden hurdle at Punchestown in October and found heavy going against him in his last two starts. Hazariban is just 1lb higher than his victory at Tramore in August but winning bumper No Cash Flow has never won in six starts under Flat rules. Danequest can never be ruled out in these races but Zemario has a poor career strike-rate of 1-38 and that victory was on his debut at Windsor in 2009.
