This may come down to the two Irish-trained chasers KITZBUHEL (1) and KALA CONTI (4). The former looked an absolute natural over fences for Willie Mullins so far and might have what it takes to give away 3.5kg following his dominant win in the G1 Kauto Star Novices Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day while the latter represents a trainer who won this race three year's ago representing the same owners and warrants respect in receipt of 3.5kg having impressed winning among G2 company by 16L at Cork. SIXMILEBRIDGE (3) is best of the British pair following his commanding Cheltenham success. MIAMI MAGIC (2) rounds out the quartet.
