WEIHNACHTS (7) makes his seasonal reappearance after rounding off last term with a 3.75L win at Down Royal. Steps down to a more intermediate trip but can handle it. Makes appeal. BIG DEBATES (1) has not found a win in two years. Could improve for his solid 3.75L fourth in the Listed Cork Grand National Handicap Chase. Definite danger. ENJOY D’ALLEN (3) is seen more often in cross country company and finished 13.5L fourth at Punchestown previously. The winner of that race subsequently scored at Cheltenham. Major form claims. DONKEY YEARS (2) is back over fences for the first time since 2023. Possibilities.
