Tony Martin's Bog Warrior has been handed top weight for the valuable Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown on 27 December.
A total of €190,000 is on offer and Martin, who last won the money in 2007 with Newbay Prop has four other possibles with Sraid Padraig (11st), Gallant Oscar (10st 7lb), Wrong Turn (9st 9lb) and Living Next Door (10st 4lb) all entered. Gallant Oscar is one of three 12-1 co-favourites with the sponsors.
He is joined at the head of the betting by the Ted Walsh-trained Foxrock (11st 2lb) and Troytown winner Balbriggan (10st 4lb), trained by Gordon Elliott, who may also run Cause Of Causes (11st 5lb) and Vaso Du Mee (10st).
Abbey Lane (10st 6lb) and Dogora (10st 11lb) are surprisingly the only two entries for Willie Mullins, who won the race last year with Rockyaboya.
Alderwood (11st 8lb), Tammys Hill (10st 9lb), Goonyella (10st 8lb) and Groody Hill (10st 4lb) are others of interest.
Donald McCain's smart novice from last season Corrin Wood is the highest-rated UK contender with 11st 9lb, while Paul Nicholls' Easter Day (11st 7lb) is another possible.
JP McManus has several UK-trained representatives with Paul Webber's Cantlow (11st 5lb), Charlie Longsdon's Pendra (10st 12lb), Lucinda Russell's Tap Night (10st 9lb) and Nick Gifford's Christopher Wren (10st 5lb) entered and David Pipe's Smiles For Miles (10st 4lb) could also make the journey.
