No British trainer's title to chase for Willie Mullins this season so he relies on just one, Road To Home, who showed improved form to finish a good second to Ask Brewster in the Kim Muir. The latter is fancied to confirm form, but both are overlooked in favour of KING OF ANSWERS, who came from an unfavourable position to take a clear second in the National Hunt Chase at the festival, very much shaping as though this even longer trip would prove right up his street. His stable won this in 2021 and a 3lb rise for his festival win seems fair. There are plenty of dangers including Kim Roque, who came from the rear in a race that suited prominent racers to take fourth in the Kim Muir. He's only six and could improve big time for the marathon test. Fellow Irish raider Promontory is really interesting at bigger odds have got off the mark over fences when upped to 3m4f at Leopardstown last time. He's a good jumper and should be grinding away when others have cried enough. Montregard shapes as though a marathon test such as this should suit also judging by the manner of February's Ascot win. He likes a sound surface and could still be well treated. |

Travelled well to a point, ran to form in Ultima Handicap Chase at Cheltenham latest; cheekpieces first time; wants 3m, suited by decent ground; consistent over fences but mark demands more. |

Too much to do, improved relishing step up in trip when runner-up in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham latest; effective 2m4f-3m6f, acts on heavy and good; more to come and looks an ideal type for this. |

No British trainer's title to chase for Willie Mullins this season so he relies on just one, Road To Home, who showed improved form to finish a good second to Ask Brewster in the Kim Muir. The latter is fancied to confirm form, but both are overlooked in favour of KING OF ANSWERS, who came from an unfavourable position to take a clear second in the National Hunt Chase at the festival, very much shaping as though this even longer trip would prove right up his street. His stable won this in 2021 and a 3lb rise for his festival win seems fair. There are plenty of dangers including Kim Roque, who came from the rear in a race that suited prominent racers to take fourth in the Kim Muir. He's only six and could improve big time for the marathon test. Fellow Irish raider Promontory is really interesting at bigger odds have got off the mark over fences when upped to 3m4f at Leopardstown last time. He's a good jumper and should be grinding away when others have cried enough. Montregard shapes as though a marathon test such as this should suit also judging by the manner of February's Ascot win. He likes a sound surface and could still be well treated. |

No British trainer's title to chase for Willie Mullins this season so he relies on just one, Road To Home, who showed improved form to finish a good second to Ask Brewster in the Kim Muir. The latter is fancied to confirm form, but both are overlooked in favour of KING OF ANSWERS, who came from an unfavourable position to take a clear second in the National Hunt Chase at the festival, very much shaping as though this even longer trip would prove right up his street. His stable won this in 2021 and a 3lb rise for his festival win seems fair. There are plenty of dangers including Kim Roque, who came from the rear in a race that suited prominent racers to take fourth in the Kim Muir. He's only six and could improve big time for the marathon test. Fellow Irish raider Promontory is really interesting at bigger odds have got off the mark over fences when upped to 3m4f at Leopardstown last time. He's a good jumper and should be grinding away when others have cried enough. Montregard shapes as though a marathon test such as this should suit also judging by the manner of February's Ascot win. He likes a sound surface and could still be well treated. |

Did it easily, improved up to marathon trip when landing a handicap by 6 1/2l off a 14lb lower mark at Leopardstown last time; effective 3m-3m4f, acts on any; progressing over fences and more to come upped to this trip. |

Improved again, appreciating stiff track down in trip when landing a Go North Red Rum Series Final Handicap Chase by 2l off a 4lb lower mark at Carlisle last time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on any; progressive. |

Below form when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Musselburgh last time; returning from a break; effective 3m-4m, wants sound surface; pulled up 12 months ago. |
