The Emmet Mullins-trained gelding is a useful staying handicapper on the Flat having won the Cesarewitch in fine style at the Curragh and there was plenty to like about his hurdle debut at Punchestown. The son of Champs Elysees showed a slick jumping technique and, while the bare form of that 2m4f maiden is nothing to get excited about, he looks an exciting prospect. Willie Mullins has a really strong four-pronged challenge with riding arrangements suggesting Gaillard Du Mesnil is preferred. The form of his course maiden win at Christmas has worked out particularly well. Gentlemansgame won a Cork maiden in runaway fashion and has loads of potential, while Ashdale Bob and Fakiera are others to consider having filled the first two places in a 2m4f Navan Grade 2.

The selection was a last minute scratching from the Champion Chase at Cheltenham last year due to a stone bruise and is a hot favourite to make amends next month having readily won both outings this season. Min won the previous two runnings of this race and, having gained a deserved Cheltenham Festival success in the Ryanair Chase last March, completed a hat-trick of wins in the 2m4f John Durkan Chase at Punchestown last time. He's a gelding of the highest quality but just appears to lack the gears of his stablemate. Notebook appears soundly held on running here at Christmas, while Fakir D'Oudairies drops down significantly in trip but hasn't shown much spark this term.

ENERGUMENE is taken to make it three from three over fences this season. The point-to-point winner has really impressed this term easily winning over 2m4f at Gowran Park and again made all and jumped well when accounting for Captain Guinness over two miles at Naas last month. Unexcepted is a half-brother to the exciting front-running chaser Great Field and made an impressive start over fences at Tipperary back in October. Franco De Port is the only Grade 1 winner over fences in the line-up having finished strongly to beat Darver Star and Felix Desjy over course and distance at Christmas. Darver Star would prefer better ground, while Felix Desjy was a Grade 1 winner over hurdles at Aintree and is another that likes to force the pace.
