The Irish-trained nine-year-old will be ridden by Richard Dunwoody, 34, in the gruelling four-mile, 2½-furlong cross country event.
"He is a brilliant jumper and should give me a great ride," said the Ulsterman, who finished third in 1996.
Risk of Thunder, trained by Enda Bolger, is one of 26 horses declared for the first prize of £25,000.
