With Jessies Dream missing the Hennessy, Paddy Power now go Quel Esprit 2-1 fav, with Quito De La Roque 9/4, Synchronised 3/1, Bostons Angel 6/1, China Rock 8/1, Magnanimity 16/1, Roberto Goldback 25/1, Follow The Plan 25/1 and Treacle 50/1.

Jessies Dream had been 7-1 for Sunday's Grade 1 contest at Leopardstown. Runner-up in the RSA Chase, Jessies Dream has not run since last year's Cheltenham Festival.

Trainer Gordon Elliott wasn't happy with his charge this morning and the Red Mills Chase at Gowran Park on Saturday week has been mentioned as an alternative target, though the Presenting gelding's work in the meantime will determine plans.

Elliott said on Betfair: "Following very disappointing display in his last piece of work before the Hennessy Jessies Dream will not run in Leopardstown on Sunday. As I said in yesterday's piece, he was in great form and schooled really well but today there was no sparkle so at this stage, with time against us, I'm not sure he will make the track at all this season."
