Although Pozyc ran well in a handicap at Leopardstown last week, he's 13lb higher than for his last victory and has been struggling in handicaps. Willie Mullins also runs Maggie Connolly, who has been making good progress and ran very well in a strong event at Fairyhouse last time. Raz De Maree would be suited by further though a fast pace would aid his cause on this ground but this can go to PSYCHO. Tony Martin's charge has been alternating between hurdles and fences and his overall form over timber gives him the edge. The Bishop Looney is a staying chaser who will surely find some of these too quick and Whodoyouthink ran poorly at Leopardstown last time after a spell over fences.
