A huge field here but few with realistic chances. JON SNOW didn't appear to get home over 2m4f at Leopardstown after travelling well throughout and can recoup losses. Santa Rossa looks a danger on his hurdling debut as he won a Grade 2 bumper at Leopardstown last February and was placed in championship bumpers at Aintree and Punchestown subsequently. Bold Pearl made a reasonable hurdling debut here a couple of weeks ago and will improve while the newcomer Galet D'oudairies, a winner on the Flat in France, looks best of Gordon Elliott's trio.
