The Tullow Tank heads a cast of 10 after the forfeit and supplementary stage for the Paddy Power Future Champions Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown on December 27.

Trained by Philip Fenton, the Barry Connell-owned five-year-old has won two of his four starts over timber, including his last two and culminating in Grade One glory in the Royal Bond at Fairyhouse.

Renneti, his immediate victim there, could reoppose and is one of a four-strong team for Willie Mullins that also includes the unbeaten Moyle Park, Arctic Fire and Vautour.

The Game Changer looked a good prospect when winning a novice event for Charlie Swan at Punchestown, while Dessie Hughes is represented by Art Of Payroll and Pat Shanahan could run King Of The Picts.

Dubai Prince, formerly a smart prospect on the Flat with Dermot Weld before joining Godolphin, and now over jumps with John Ferguson, is the sole British-trained entry.
