'I'll be getting stuck in at 5-2 - he won't get a better chance to win this season' - Johnny Dineen is brimming with confidence about a Saturday fancy

How did last weekend go – did you win or lose?

Johnny Dineen: The results in Ireland last weekend were pretty favourable for punters, particularly at Galway. The markets got races pretty right and the bookies had a torturous time of it for the bulk of the weekend. Will The Wise was my Saturday banker on this page and he won well. Monday, on the other hand, was a tale of woe for me. I picked the wrong one in the two straight shootouts at Wexford – opting for Rocky's Diamond against Blizzard Of Oz and Tullyhill to beat Fleur In The Park. Those 24 hours sum up this game up fairly accurately as you can go from walking on water to splashing in the water in the blink of an eye. 

David Jennings: It was deeply frustrating. Obviously, I went on the record as saying The Short Go was the best-handicapped chaser in Ireland or Britain, and he travelled through the big staying handicap chase at Cheltenham for a long way as if he were the best. He just missed the second-last. The Ultima will be on his agenda. Galeron was a sickener at Doncaster. He flew home for second after banging his head against a brick wall when screaming for room over a furlong out. Oh well. 

Who wins the first Grade 1 of the jumps season, the BetVictor Champion Chase at Down Royal?

Johnny: I find it very difficult to fancy a horse rising 12 years of age in a race like this and, although Envoi Allen is a remarkable racehorse with an outstanding record at this track, you would have to say it would be a damning indictment of the opposition should he be able to see them off at this late stage in his marvellous career. This race is all about Spillane's Tower. He's still only seven and it's fair to assume he has plenty of improvement to come. Indeed, on the bulk of his form he doesn't need to improve anything.
