Gordon Elliott's Delta Work lunged late to land a thrilling Savills Chase over the course and distance last month. The Willie Mullins-trained Kemboy was fourth on what was his seasonal reappearance, with Pat Kelly's Presenting Percy just behind him in fifth.

Most bookmakers make Kemboy the marginal favourite to come out on top in Sunday's feature event and provide Mullins with an 11th Irish Gold Cup success. The champion trainer also saddles last year's winner Bellshill and Cadmium.
Chris's Dream is an interesting contender for Henry de Bromhead, stepping up in class after dominating his rivals in the Troytown Chase at Navan in late November.
With the 2017 Irish Gold Cup, Cheltenham Gold Cup and Punchestown Gold Cup winner Sizing John ruled out through injury, Jessica Harrington relies on outsider Jett.
The field is completed by Tony Martin's Anibale Fly and Warren Greatrex's mare La Bague Au Roi.
