PreviewsALLAHO was arguably the most impressive winner of the week when making most to win this race by 12 lengths last year and, the meeting banker of many a punter this time around, he is very hard to oppose. The eight-year-old arrives in even better form than he did 12 months ago, winning the John Durkan and Horse & Jockey Hotel Chase in both starts so far this season, and could lead his rivals a merry dance once more. Conflated isn't the most reliable, but he did impressively win the Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown last time and represents the sponsors of this race. Shan Blue would have won the Charlie Hall but for falling three out in October and he can't be ruled out, nor can Janidil, who is likely to appreciate this drop back in trip.

Won this 12 months ago and impossible to fault again.
