MONBEG PARK (2) On a short turnaround. Finished 11th last start in a hurdle at Punchestown. J L Scallan provides some weight relief. Must be considered. CANAL END (11) Made a mess of them when winning by 4 1/2L last time in a chase at Navan and showing improvement in recent outings. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Expect to go close. MAJESTIC FORCE (13) Handy enough when winning by 1 1/4L last start in a chase at Wexford and good career start. Shows good early pace. Dropping weight. One of the major players. BEACHCOMBER (7) First up after 10 weeks and displayed good finishing speed when 3rd beaten by 12L first up last preparation in a chase at Chepstow. R P Mclernon is a bonus. Respect against this field.
