Corbetts Cross will be the star attraction when he makes his seasonal debut in the listed Michael Hickey Memorial Chase in Wexford.
Trained for JP McManus by Emmet Mullins, the seven-year-old ended last season with a rating of 166, thanks primarily to his career-best performance in the William Hill Bowl at Aintree, when third, beaten less than three lengths, behind Gerri Colombe and Ahoy Senor.
