2:45 Matheson Handicap Chase (Grade B) 2m 1f

Pont Aven could be the answer to this valuable handicap. Willie Mullins’s eight-year-old struggled over longer distances last season but since dropping back in trip this season, he has prospered when held up. He ran really well in the race over this course and distance on St Stephen’s Day when he got caught for a bit of toe before the straight but flew home in eye-catching fashion.
