Screaming Colours has had injury problems but showed what a smart stayer he is over the track and trip last month with a convincing victory on heavy going. He's up 9lb and this is a tougher race, though he's still expected to get into the mix. DEILGINIS scored twice over fences earlier this year and took advantage of a much lower hurdles mark on his reappearance here last month. He's shot up the weights but is only six so should have more to offer. Tokyo Getaway was in fine form earlier this year, scoring over hurdles and fences. He jumps well and stays the trip so should give a good account while Cushinstown Finest, a comfortable winner over 2m3f here in October, was only headed on the line at Fairyhouse a month later. Moscowsowhat gained the first victory of his career in a beginners' chase at Tramore and will need to raise his game but Envoy Pierji should improve for the step up in trip and looks quite well treated.
