Race preview
DREAL DEAL wasn't scheduled to take part when this event was due to be run on Saturday and he looks a strong contender now. One of the stories of the autumn and now going for six in a row Ronan McNally's charge can prove up to the task as he leaves handicap company with a rating of 141. Paul Townend takes the reins for the first time. Percy Warner is by far the least experienced of this quintet but has plenty of potential judged on recent efforts. The point-to-point winner went through the ring for 100,000 pounds at Cheltenham in November and the following month took a Navan maiden hurdle on his debut under Rules. That form received a timely boost when runner-up Flanking Maneuver scored readily here last Sunday. Sizing Pottsie would be a big player over fences having won a valuable handicap in decisive fashion here last month off a mark of 149. He's yet to win in three outings over hurdles but receives weight from the majority here as a result. Low Sun has been very lightly raced since winning the Cesarewitch in 2018 and made no impact over three miles at Navan last month.
