Willie Mullins has four hopefuls at the confirmation stage as the trainer seeks an astonishing seventh success in the Weatherbys Champion Bumper.
The County Carlow handler has a powerful - and unbeaten - quartet in Bishopsfurze, Day Of A Lifetime, Lios A Choill and Up Ou That for the concluding race at Cheltenham on Wednesday.
However, it is Dermot Weld who is responsible for the first two in the ante-post market - Elegant Concorde and Hidden Universe.
Others among a formidable Irish team are Edward O'Grady's Shot From The Hip and Tavern Times from the Tom Mullins yard.
Ulster trainer Jimmy Lambe has a strong contender in Drumbaloo while mainland hopefuls include the Paul Nicholls-trained Al Ferof and the Philip Hobbs-trained duo of Dare Me and Dunraven Storm.
