Sizing Australia has won this for the past two years though he only scrambled home twelve months ago. He's been primed for a hat-trick having had a run over hurdles at Limerick last month. Enda Bolger has his usual battalions entered and Federici, who is making his debut in this type of event, could come out best as though Wish Ye Didnt won easily at the meeting on Tuesday that was a very poor race. The stable's Josies Orders was still in contention when unseating his rider in the La Touche Cup on Thursday won by Willie Mullins' veteran Uncle Junior and the winner's trainer is represented by Are Ya Right Chief, though he never really got into contention in the Glenfarclas at Cheltenham. PROSPERITY SQUARE is having his first run over this type of obstacle but he's always been a sound jumper and with Paul Carberry on board he's taken to defy a long absence on the fast ground he loves.
