FormscanBy Tom Weekes - REAL STEEL lacks a little chase experience taking on better experienced rivals here but might prove up to the task. A smart type over hurdles (he fell at the final flight in a Grade 1 Hurdle when in contention in December 2017), he was in the process of running a big race when falling at the final fence on chase debut before winning well at Fairyhouse in January. He looks open to more improvement and this looks an ideal next race for him.Moon Over Germany finished second in that Leopardstown chase when REAL STEEL fell on his chase debut. Moon Over Germany is now 10lbs better off than REAL STEEL but was beaten, albeit in a Grade A race, subsequently and might struggle to beat the selection. Jett won this race last year, one of two chases he has won at this venue, and while it is disappointing he has now won in the interim, he has solid claims today racing from just 4lbs higher today. Landofhopeandglory is officially 2lbs 'wrong' at the weights but has been hinting that he can win from his current mark in recent times while De Plotting Shed still has a rating of 139 but he remains enigmatic and without a win since November 2016.
