One novice who I have been really taken by and could be tailor-made for this test is C'EST TA CHANCE for Willie Mullins. The seven-year-old, who will carry exactly 11st off a mark of 142, was not particularly convincing as a staying prospect over hurdles, but has looked in need of a trip this season over fences.

From a stamina-laden Aga Khan family, he scrambled home needing every inch of the two and a half miles at Gowran in January and, stepped up a furlong and a half at Thurles last time, produced a career best to win readily by almost five lengths.

Those two most recent wins have seen him register Jump Indexes of 8.6 and 8.1, the highest figure recorded in both contests – and he is the joint third-best jumper in the field here according to RaceiQ.

He is currently available at as big as 16-1, which looks a real bit of value, certainly relative to Soldier In Milan, who he comfortably accounted for last time and yet is a far bigger price than. C'est Ta Chance's experience in big fields and versatility with regards to running style should also stand him in good stead, with Danny Mullins aboard another big positive.
