FormscanBy Donal Murphy - One of four Willie Mullins-trained representatives in the line-up, CHAMP KIELY is the selection. Sent off at just 11/1 for the Savills Chase at Leopardstown on Sunday, the Ocovango bay slipped up early when clipping heels after the fourth. A dual Grade 1 winner and the choice of Paul Townend, he is marginally preferred over Heart Wood and Croke Park. The Henry de Bromhead-trained former is the highest rated runner in the line-up, but isn't the most consistent and it's difficult to know which version of him will show up. Finishing well ahead of the selection when they clashed at the Dublin Racing Festival in February, Croke Park warrants the utmost respect and it'll be interesting to see how he fares in first time cheekpieces. While all capable performers, the remaining five runners will need to recapture their best form if they are to feature.
