JERIKO DU REPONET (1) holds ability to take this having recorded a runner-up effort in the Pertemps Final here last year. Open to further improvement over fences and represents leading connections. Big chance. WATERFORD WHISPERS (11) ran well five weeks back producing a solid 1L third tackling a 2m5f G3 Leopardstown Handicap Chase. Rates highly. HERAKLES WESTWOOD (8) stays well and managed to build on a promising course record gaining a 0. 5L success in a 3m1f handicap chase here New Years Day. This is harder however looks progressive. IL RIDOTO (6) is a two-time winner at this venue. Climbs in journey after a 9. 5L second contesting a 2m5f Premier Handicap Chase here during January. Place hope.
