He has a good draw in 7, he's a horse on the improve and he'll be very hard to beat. Willie Mullins runs three in the opening race and you'd imagine Champ Kiely is the pick of them with Paul Townend riding. He runs with 9-7 on his back and just creeps into the race two from the bottom.

Mullins also saddles Lasparas who was fifth in a maiden hurdle at Tipperary on his second start over hurdles, having previously impressed when making a winning debut in a bumper at Tramore last year. Other interesting runners include smart hurdlers Ronald Pump and The Jam Man. Gin On Lime tasted success at Cheltenham last season and also runs in the contest. He therefore has to be one of note along with Fire Attack who was a smooth winner at Punchestown in May and warrants a second look. He bounced back to form with a confidence boosting win in a maiden back on the level at Sligo in May and he has to be respected for powerful connections. Hewick won the Sandown Gold Cup in April and warmed up for this event when second at Ballinrobe over hurdles in May. The Shunter was a brilliant winner at the Cheltenham Festival last term, but he has struggled over both fences and hurdles this term.

Hewick came into the race after an eye catching win at Sandown last April in a three and a half mile handicap but there were concerns about him running this course which was almost a mile shorter. Afterwards, Hanlon thanked Gordon Elliott for ‘loaning’ him Jordan Gainford and the young Wexford jockey gave Hewick the perfect, patient ride while staying out of the trouble that saw a number of fallers. “Our game has gone very tough with the price of feed and everything and we are a small yard.

Galway Plate winner Hewick cost John Hanlon just €850, and has now bagged around 300 times that in prize money.
I won the Bet365 Gold Cup and I won the Galway Plate with a horse that cost 800 quid!” That advantage was just a half a length by the time the horses dipped heads on the line, but it was enough for Hewick to bag the winner’s prize. Everyone was afraid that it was too short for him, but they went a real good clip at Sandown and he was able to lie up with them. He squeezed his horse and his horse responded, landed over the final fence a length in front of his closest pursuer and going forward. When he did, the riderless Exelerator Express went with him, hung to his right and carried T J McDonald’s horse across to the far side of the track, costing him ground and momentum. The most impressive element of this performance was that, for a horse who had the stamina to win Sandown’s longest steeplechase, he also had the pace to be able to lie up easily with the front-runners in a Galway Plate.
