Chateau Musar won three times here at the beginning of last year and is 1lb lower than his last winning mark. Fox Leicester had been in good form before last week's victory over 1m2f . He's 6lb higher and his rider claims 3lb less so this looks much tougher and he's never been the trip. Made For Minds won a Curragh handicap over the trip in October but has run poorly on the Flat and over hurdles subsequently. KINGSLAYER hadn't shown much on the Flat or over timber before scoring over 1m2f last month. He then made a bold bid to overcome an 8lb rise and is taken to return to winning ways. Colin Keane returns to action today and rides Cursory Exam, who has looked a couple of pounds high since scoring over 1m2f in October. Lord Mczie scored over 1m2f in December but is another tackling the trip for the first time.
