PreviewsLISP ran well at the Festival last year when fifth in the County Hurdle and has shown promise in three chase outings this term. He seemingly paid for making the running in a four-runner Grade 2 at Doncaster last time but could better that effort if granted some cover in this larger field now sent handicapping. Eclair De Beaufeu accounted for the smart Paloma Blue at Leopardstown last month and, along with Gowran scorer Chosen Mate, he gives Gordon Elliott a strong hand. Two Taffs, who was placed in the novice handicap at this meeting in 2017, should be putting in his best work in the closing stages and warrants respect for target trainer Dan Skelton, who also saddles up an interesting outsider in the shape of Marracudja. He drops in class after finishing third in the Clarence House at Ascot. Paul Nicholls' improving handicap debutant Greaneteen, who is 3-3 over fences, cannot be left out of calculations either.
