Ciankyle had a couple of runs over fences in 2017 and arrives in winning form having landed a handicap over timber at Sligo. Djingle, a dual hurdles winner, hasn't done much wrong over fences the last twice and should be suited by the softer ground. He has nothing to fear from Global Jackpot on their run at Tipperary though Jack Dillinger's recent second to Due Reward at Killarney looks the better form. Joseph O'Brien's charge looks certain to get into contention though all eyes will be on SAYO as he makes his chasing bow. Willie Mullins' five-year-old, a winner on the Flat in France and over hurdles at Naas, wasn't beaten far in last year's Triumph Hurdle and was having his first start since then when pulled up in last month's Galway Hurdle.
