Have to say I was surprised when I saw both were declared - wouldn't shock me if there is ma late non runner.
I guess if one wins and the other runs badly then obviously the loser won't be going to Cheltenham. If they fight out the finish, or both go very close then, with them having different owners, they could still both run at Cheltenham, however I expect Make Your Mark may be saved for Punchestown if he dosen't win as he's younger and less experienced.
I actually backed Make Your Mark for the Neptune earlier this week but may look to lay that off now.

Does look a strange decision to run both. Maybe waiting on the ground and deide which one then. The 7lb complicates things too. Narrow win for Make Your Mark in receipt of 7lb would give Mullins a headache. The onwership issue muddies it even more.
I expect Sea of Thunder to have a large say in this and have backed @ 10/1 accordingly.
