10/10 were returned UNDER 11/2 in the betting and 9 were Fav or 2nd Fav
10/10 had finished in the 1st three on thier last completed start.
10/10 had won at Grade 1 level over Fences
10/10 had ran since Xmas
9/10 had won over the course
9/10 had won at 3m

Unless there's a major incident during the race i'd take out the rank outsiders
IN COMPLIANCE , MADE IN TAIPAN [must be one of the worst names EVER !!] and SCHINDLERS HUNT.

C/D wise , although MONEY TRIX and JONCOL have not actually won at Leopardstown , both were placed here in the LEXUS CHASE LTO so thats good enough for me on that score.
However MONEY TRIX has never won at G1 class [Cl2 at best ] so he's out.

NOTRE PERE has been a disappointment this season and only finishing 4th last time see's him passed over.

COOLDINE definately has the ability but is another who has yet to find his form this season so that leaves us with JONCOL who should relish the Heavy conditions .
His only 3m win was in a PTP , which is a slight worry but he has been placed twice over 24f + 25f.
