There's no doubting INTHEPOCKET is better than he ultimately showed when third behind re-opposing Ile Atlantique in a C&D Grade 2 when last seen 10 months ago and with potential for better still as a chaser, Henry de Bromhead's low-mileage 8-y-o is fancied to make a bold bid on return (goes well fresh). Champ Kiely signed off last term with Grade 1 success at Punchestown and is feared, along with last season's Arkle second Only By Night.

VerdictMultiple winning hurdler (including at Grade 1 level) who made a winning reappearance/chase debut at Wexford (2m) this time last year. Better than he could show when third behind re-opposing Ile Atlantique in C&D Grade 2 when last seen in January and he remains with untapped potential as a chaser. - 1. Champ KielyJ: P. TownendT: W.

VerdictVery smart chaser who took his record to 3-6 in this sphere when lowering the colours of stablemate Ballyburn in Champion Novices' Chase at Punchestown (25f, good) in April. Remains lightly raced for his age and he needs considering on return. - 3. Only By NightJ: Keith DonoghueT: Gavin Patrick Cromwell, IrelandF: 37/31112-2

VerdictMade an excellent start to her chase career last winter, landing a Cork Grade 2 and Exeter listed race. Improved again when second in the Arkle at Cheltenham in March and whilst not in quite the same form despite filling same spot at Punchestown final start, she commands respect on her return.

VerdictQuickly reached a smart level in this sphere, building on his maiden victory when bagging C&D Grade 2 in January. Failed to complete on 2 of his 3 starts thereafter last season, latterly at 3m, and connections opt for a marked step back in trip on this return from 6 months off. Not out of things.

VerdictUnreliable individual. 16/1, eighth of 9 in handicap chase at Limerick (19.2f, heavy) 21 days ago, beaten some way out. Very hard to make a case for in this company.- Unnamed Favourite
