Fair Along and My Way De Solzen head a high-class field of 13 for Tuesday's Irish Independent Arkle Challenge Trophy at the Cheltenham Festival.
The two met at Sandown earlier in the season with Philip Hobbs' diminutive Fair Along coming out on top - although Alan King was adamant his charge was not at his best that day.
Jonjo O'Neill's Don't Push It will have the assistance of Tony McCoy from the saddle, while Timmy Murphy takes over the steering on David Pipe's Buena Vista, third in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle 12 months ago and unbeaten over fences.
Nicky Henderson has declared Jack The Giant, despite issuing a warning to punters over the gelding's participation on Sunday, with Howard Johnson also set to unleash the impressive Lennon.
The northern challenge is supplemented by Nicky Richards' Faasel, second in the Triumph Hurdle two years ago, and Ferdy Murphy's Another Promise.
There are two challengers from Ireland in Jessica Harrington's Gemini Lucy and the Charles Byrnes-trained Vintage Treasure.
Champion trainer Paul Nicholls has two live outsiders in Twist Magic and Good Spirit, while Jonathan Jay's Tidal Fury, a Grade One winner in France, completes the line-up.
