FormscanBy Tom Weekes - There could be a plan coming together here with SHANESHILL as he races over fences for the first time since March 2016 and, as a direct consequence, comes here with better claims than most. His only Grade 1 win was in the 2013 Punchestown Festival Bumper but he has filled second at three Cheltenham Festivals, with his most recent chase outing being a fine second in the 2016 RSA Chase. His lack of a recent chase outing has to be a small concern but he can compete from his 153 chase rating on handicap chase debut and comes here in top form, having won at an Autueil Grade 2 hurdle in May and again filled third in a Grade 1 at the venue last month. Balko Des Flos himself contests his first ever handicap and was a useful novice chaser last season. His is now a second season novice and while he seemed a better chaser than hurdler, does lack experience and is rated 10lbs above his hurdles mark. Sandymount Duke has an incredible win-rate and while initially beaten in his first two handicap chase starts, did win a handicap at Down Royal in June and cannot be dismissed from a 3lbs higher mark. Road To Riches won this race in 2014 and while he had an amazingly successful season n 2014/15, has yet to return to that sort of form. His now competes from just a 7lbs higher mark than when successful in 2014, but still has a little to prove on his reappearance. Arbre De Vie was second in a competitive handicap chase at Punchestown in April but himself has a little to prove following a lacklustre hurdles run in May while Shanpallas was fifth in this race in 2015 and is not without his chance today, from a 4lbs lower mark and having run a nice race over hurdles in June. Ballycasey comes here fit and well but has plenty weight while is Lord Scoundrel is 11lbs higher than when winning last year's renewal and while he doesn't appear ahead of the the handicapper now, is ridden by a 7lbs claimer.
