Verdict
Dylan Ross got off the mark over fences when scoring here last month and further improvement is expected. He can reverse earlier running with Jenari, well beaten at Punchestown last time. Klepht made a winning chase debut at Wexford in October and should be in the mix again but the one they all have to beat is OSCARS WELL. Sixth in this year's Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham, he got no further than the second when falling over fences at Punchestown last month but had made an impressive start to his chasing career at the same track before that. Jessica Harrington's charge can pick up the winning thread again in this and gets the nod.
