Formscan By Tom Weekes - CHAMPAGNE ADMIRAL is progressive, proven in handicap company and thus is reliable. Suited by testing ground, he followed up his maiden hurdle win with a Christmas success against useful Leopardstown rivals and should compete from 8lb higher. Silver King was himself a recent handicap winner, scoring at this course and distance, and while he has claims racing from 7lb higher, is slightly more exposed than the selection. Built By Ballymore, runner-up on debut at the 2022 Punchestown festival, won well under a 5lb claimer at Limerick during Christmas and while he is can progress, carries top weight. Joyau De Thaix was another useful Christmas heavy-ground winner who should compete stepping up in distance but is the least experienced runner. Dollar Nolimit was beaten from today's rating during Christmas while Bob Cigar flopped at Thurles pre-Christmas when reported 'post race normal' but had useful previous form.

Probable SP 9/4 Built By Ballymore, 3/1 Champagne Admiral, 9/2 Joyau De Thaix, 5/1 Silver King, 11/2 Bob Cigar, 10/1 Dollar Nolimit.
