Road To Respect is set to be supplemented for Saturday's JNWine.com Champion Chase at Down Royal and big-race rider Sean Flanagan believes the last one to the party could be the life and soul of it, stressing that Noel Meade's star stayer is "absolutely bombing" at home and has never looked or felt better.

Road To Respect, who beat Saturday's ante-post favourite Balko Des Flos in the Christmas Chase at Leopardstown last season, was narrowly edged out by Outlander in the Down Royal showpiece last term having traded at a low of 1.06 in running on the exchanges.
