A possible question to answer beyond 3m but he has an excellent chance at these weights

Better than ever when third in Leopardstown Grade 1 but he gives weight all round today
3	Chantry House Brown J:Nico de Boinville T:Nicky Henderson	J:Nico de Boinville T:Nicky Henderson	158	b	09-551	154	169	118	24d	—	—	+18	29.1	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Revived with a C&D handicap win last time but probably still needs to build on that

Tremendous here in 2023 but has underperformed last four outings and unraced beyond 2m5f
4	Delta Work Brown J:Sean Bowen T:Gordon Elliott	J:Sean Bowen T:Gordon Elliott	158	t	662-50	157	171	65	43d	—	—	+24	27.7	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Needs a return to form and the chances are that it will take place later in the season

Looks well out of his depth and tailed off when facing a not dissimilar task six days ago
