Paul Nicholls, who officially trained Rock On Ruby last year, is represented by Zarkandar, who is unbeaten in three starts this season and the mount of Daryl Jacob with Ruby Walsh electing to ride Hurricane Fly.

As well as Binocular, the 2010 winner, Nicky Henderson saddles Grandouet and Khyber Kim.

The 2011 hero Hurricane Fly, trained by Willie Mullins, is the only Irish representative.

Countrywide Flame and Cinders And Ashes, winners of the Triumph and Supreme Novices' Hurdle respectively last year, take their chance while Balder Succes complete the line-up.

Cotton Mill was the sole withdrawal at the 48-hour final declaration stage. He is set to run on Friday in the Vincent O'Brien County Handicap Hurdle.
