Paul Nicholls' tentative comparison to Demnan is a significant clue towards the potential held by NO DRAMA THIS END, who is unbeaten over hurdles and appears to be a rising star. Things didn't go to plan for him in the Champion Bumper here last year but he has flourished greatly since jumping entered the equation. A Grade 2 success over C&D at the November meeting was followed by a striking display at the same level at Sandown. Having then comfortably stepped up to the top tier in the Challow at Newbury, the son of Walk In The Park boasts rock-solid credentials. Ballyfad and King Rasko Grey lead the charge for Ireland and are hard to split based on their second and third-placed finishes in the Tattersalls at the Dublin Racing Festival. Like the Challow, that race has produced several previous winners of this prestigious novices' event and both are serious contenders. Their yards are very strongly represented and the likes of Skylight Hustle, Sober and Sortudo would all be dangerous to underestimate. I'll Sort That comfortably held the latter in a Grade 1 at Naas and he is another must for the shortlist in a high-calibre renewal.

In a wide-open renewal of this contest, marginal preference is for ROMEO COOLIO. Gordon Elliott's gelding steps up markedly in trip and that is a concern, but he has won two Grade 1 contests over 2m1f at Leopardstown this season while looking in need of further. His most impressive displays this season have come over 2m4f, including a Drinmore success as well as a 14-length defeat of Koktail Divin at Down Royal in October, and he could prove hard to beat if seeing out the trip. Final Demand had been popular for this race all season prior to his defeat at the Dublin Racing Festival and he has questions to answer right now. With that in mind, Wendigo could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Western Fold and The Big Westerner.

STORM HEART was a useful juvenile hurdler a couple of seasons ago and has not had much racing since. The six-year-old accounted for a decent field when winning over 2m in the Red Mills Trial at Gowran last month and that followed an easy success over 2m4f at Limerick over Christmas. With the prospect of more to come back up in trip, it would be no surprise to see him score here. Stablemate Kopeck De Mee failed to fire when well backed in the Martin Pipe 12 months ago, but put that right when a narrow second at Aintree the following month. He is another likely to have improvement left to come. Jingko Blue bumped into a useful rival in Kabral Du Mathan when second in the Relkeel here in January and he could make the frame, while Lucky Place and The Yellow Clay are others with valid each-way claims.

Raced lazily down the field in a handicap chase at Haydock most recent; off a short-break; effective 3m+, acts on any but suited by cut; inconsistent.

Gordon Elliott's enviable record in this race could be enhanced further now that Favori De Champdou has proved he can successfully complete this course. A cosy winner over track and trip last time out, the 11-year-old readily atoned for a fall here in December and looks the pick of his trainer's four entrants. However, last year's winner STUMPTOWN is a Festival veteran that seems to continually rise to the challenge of an idiosyncratic test. Last seen when enhancing his record over cross country fences with a comfortable success in the Velka Pardubice, the Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding tends to go well fresh and can be expected to make a bold bid to retain his crown. Desertmore House and Vanillier are others with strong form in this type of event and are likely to be in the mix once again. Final Orders and Latenightpass were brushed aside by Favori De Champdou here last time out but have feasible each-way chances based on their peak form.

MAJBOROUGH hasn't always been the most pleasing on the eye over fences, most notably when throwing away the Arkle 12 months ago courtesy of late errors, but the application of cheekpieces turned him inside out with a devastating performance at the Dublin Racing Festival. He thumped Marine Nationale by 19 lengths and a repeat of that display would make it a difficult task for the opposition. L'eau Du Sud arrives here fresh after disappointing in the Tingle Creek behind Il Etait Temps, but Dan Skelton's grey was hugely impressive in the Shloer over C&D in November and that might help him reverse form with Il Etait Temps, who comes into this with a few points to prove. The eight-year-old had been ante-post favourite until falling in the Clarence House when never looking particularly happy and his Cheltenham form also raises some questions. Irish Panther lacks experience over fences, with this only his third start, but he made Romeo Coolio pull out all the stops at Leopardstown and is very interesting.

If BE AWARE can build on some encouraging efforts in novice chase company, notably his second to Lulamba in the Henry VIII at Sandown in December, then Dan Skelton's charge must have a great chance returning to handicap duty. Inthepocket won a Grade 1 over hurdles at Aintree a few years ago and has been lightly raced since. He is another to take seriously for a top yard, while Ben Pauling also boasts a strong hand courtesy of the hat-trick seeking Vanderpoel and easy Newbury winner Personal Ambition. If they go too quick then it wouldn't be a huge surprise if Ballysax Hank ran on through beaten horses for a place.

Willie Mullins bids for an unprecedented 15th success in the Champion Bumper and Love Sign D'aunou, the choice of his son Patrick, appears to be the pick of the Closutton quintet after a 24-length rout on his Rules debut at Naas in January. The Irish Avatar impressed in his bumper victory at Navan and commands plenty of respect, but the four-year-old QUIRYN is especially interesting. He boasts an unusual profile having attempted to run twice on the Flat in France, but not consenting to enter the stalls, and he made a bright start in a Naas bumper. A half-brother to a Group 1 winner, it wouldn't be a massive surprise if he had too much speed for the NH types in a bid to be the first of his age group to win this since Cue Card back in 2011. Keep Him Company, Ascot Listed winner Bass Hunter and Mets Ta Ceinture, who was purchased for 710,000 euros in November, are others to note.
