IL ETAIT TEMPS (3) brings the right form into this feature having prevailed by 10L attempting the G1 Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. With Paul Townend back aboard he looks the one they all have to beat. MARINE NATIONALE (5) has not raced for three months however his overall record is strong and the Leopardstown G1 placing keeps him firmly in contention. MAJBOROUGH (4) performed below expectations at Cheltenham. Previous G1 Dublin Chase victory showed his class and could be thereabouts if his jumping improves. Likeable veteran ENERGUMENE (2) arrives off a Fairyhouse G2 win and as a multiple G1 winner he is a genuine threat again.
