The Paul Nicholls-trained Politologue got the better of Willie Mullins’ hot favourite Min by a neck in last season’s renewal of the two-and-a-half-mile Grade One contest better known as the Melling Chase.
Politologue filled the runner-up berth behind Altior in the Queen Mother Champion Chase at last month’s Cheltenham Festival, a race in which Min could only manage fifth place under Ruby Walsh who teams up again.

The race also includes another Irish challenger Woodland Opera, the rank outsider of the septet trained in Moone by Jessica Harrington and partnered by her stable jockey Robbie Power who rode Fox Norton to win the same race two years ago.
