Had a fantastic season last year winning this and then going on to take the King George.

Ran an absolute stormer when 2nd in the Gold Cup at Cheltenham and 3rd in the Punchestown equivalent on his final start of last season.

The one to beat.

Finished last in this last year and looked to of lost his way. Bounced back with a win at Cheltenham in January and was still going well in the Gold Cup when falling.

Was unlucky not to win the Bowl at Aintree when just caught by Shishkin in April.

If he returns in the same form here then he has every chance.

Beat subsequent Irish National winner I Am Maximus by 8 lengths on chase debut nearly a year ago.

Only ran once since when beaten in a Grade 2 over 20f by the winning machine Easy Game 35 days ago.

Steps up to 3m here for the first time over fences.

Could go well.
