Plenty of runners here but very few with obvious chances and it could be time for HENRY HOWARD to finally get off the mark. Willie Mullins' charge is no stable star but recent placed efforts at Roscommon and Wexford should just about get him home. Intercounty Star was beaten a long way when fourth at Kilbeggan while Knockraha Boss looked a potential chaser when making his debut over fences at Wexford so it's a surprise to see him back over timber. Tikkanen Express led for a long way before fading at Killarney but that was over 2m4f and, with the quick ground to suit, he could be the main threat.
