Four of the first six home from the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival reoppose in the attheraces.com Champion INH Flat Race at Punchestown on Wednesday.
The Dermot Weld-trained winner Silver Concorde beat Willie Mullins' Shaneshill by a length and a half and again renew rivalry.
Mullins' Black Hercules (fourth) and Killultagh Vic (sixth) are also joined in the line-up by stablemate Aminabad, a Listed winner at Limerick towards the end of March.
Paul Nolan runs Fine Article, a half-brother to his dual Grade One winner Joncol, after an easy win at Gowran Park.
"He's a big horse and is a little bit backward. He did it very nicely the last day but this represents a huge step up in class. I think he's good enough to run a nice race, though," said Nolan.
"I think he's like Joncol in terms of his size but he's got a little bit more pace than him."
David Pipe was successful 12 months ago with the Jane Mangan-ridden The Liquidator
Owner Roger Brookhouse is again represented this year by the Pipe-trained Seven Nation Army. He beat Cheltenham Bumper third Joshua Lane in a Listed event at Ascot before becoming stuck in the mud at Newbury.
Pipe has this year booked another leading female rider in Nina Carberry.
"He was the winner of a Listed bumper at Ascot last season before not handling the ground at Newbury where he was disappointing," the Pond House handler told www.davidpipe.com.
"He has had a little break since then and been freshened up in preparation for this and although again this is a very tough race we are hopeful of a good run."
Brookhouse is also represented by the Tom George-trained Some Buckle, a point-to-point winner who was third in a decent event at Doncaster in February.
Other British challengers are Harry Fry's once-raced Jollyallan, a 15-length scorer at Wincanton, and the Philip Kirby-trained Aniknam, a 10-length winner at Hexham on his only outing to date.
