It will take place at 2.6m. Perceval Legallois is the main threat to the Elliott runners, while Good Time Jonny has a course-and-distance victory off 9lb lower.
Gordon Elliott has a big team in this event. They include Coventry, Eric Bloodaxe, Jaycean, Maxxum, Music Drive, Noble Birth, Rodaniche, Slige Dala, Tronador and Vina Ardanza. It's an extremely competitive race with a lot of horses. The left-handed track at Leopardstown should suit Hemlock. It’s the first run of the season and he”ll come on for it. Mouse Morris hopes Whatsavailable will have a clear run. He won well last time at Fairyhouse. Niall Moore's 7lb claim brings him down to a nice weight of 10st 4lb.
