The eight-year-old won the Jewson Novices’ Chase at the Festival 12 months ago and was last sighted claiming further Grade 1 honours at Leopardstown over Christmas.

Benefficient steps up to the intermediate distance of two miles and five furlongs in the Ryanair, but Martin believes that will not be an issue.
