FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A dual course and distance winner and successful in this very race 12-months ago, OUTSIDE THE DOOR is the selection. His recent efforts read very well in the context of this race and with Peter Smithers claiming a valuable 7lb, he can be expected to go close. Not beaten far when fourth over flights at Bellewstown last month, Tullyveery Lad is capable of making an impact, while Sea Aster looks the pick of Gordon Elliott's pair, with Jack Kennedy opting to partner this four-time winner. Nt Field Minnesota, Paul Townend's only ride on the card, can't be discounted, while Prince Zaltar and Juniper Hill are others for the shortlist, with both successful when last seen at Punchestown and Downpatrick respectively.
