Mikael D'Haguenet remains in the Arkle at the six-day stage for the Irish Independent sponsored chase.

Willie Mulllins also has entered Blazing Tempo among the 13 entries while Noel Meade is looking for his first win in the race and relies on Realt Dubh.

Alan King's Medermit was last seen winning the Scilly Isles Novices' Chase at Sandown and could lock horns again with the runner-up Captain Chris, trained by Philip Hobbs, and the fourth home, Jonjo O'Neill's Rock Noir.

Paul Nicholls's Ghizao, one of the leading fancies for the race, is all set to line-up for David Johnson and Andy Stewart and their families.

Nicky Henderson's Finian's Rainbow may be joined by stablemate Giorgio Quercus, whilst Dan Breen, sporting first-time blinkers, is set to represent David Pipe.

William's Wishes and West With The Wind are entered for Evan Williams.
