Double Windsor is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and is 5lb lower than when last successful at Limerick last summer. Shawshank's recent easy victory was between the flags but Mica Malpic was well supported when scoring at Limerick, though an 8lb rise makes this tougher. ROPED IN never won in 10 starts over timber but made a very encouraging chasing debut over the course and distance last month and looks the one to beat. Presenting Cody finished runner-up on his chasing bow at Killarney but fell at the second when favourite here next time while An Droichead Eile went close to losing his maiden tag over fences at Punchestown and will appreciate the longer trip.
