Going - Soft (Good to Soft in places). 

Formscan  - MIGHTY POTTER has taken to his form to another level since going chasing, as seen with fantastic Grade 1 victories in the Drinmore and the Ladbrokes Novice Chase. Gordon Elliott's six-year-old did flop in last year's Supreme here, but he has been a different proposition this campaign and should take all the beating. Appreciate It tasted his first defeat over fences when weakening into third in the Irish Arkle, but the 2021 Supreme winner is feared most now upped to 2m4f for the first time over obstacles. He had no problem winning a NH Flat race over this trip back in 2019 and this stiffer test could unlock some improvement. Banbridge finished just ahead of Appreciate It at Leopardstown, and the return to this distance should help him travel more kindly. Balco Coastal filled the runner-up berth in the Scilly Isles and looks the pick of the home team, closely followed by Stage Star, who was impressive on his handicap debut over an extended 2m4f on Trials Day.
