Wolf Prince would have every chance if rediscovering last year’s form when placed in Grade company. Ballywilliam Boy landed a maiden hurdle at Naas last month and drops down in trip while Bythesametoken won at Wexford and is 5lb higher today. But ZOFFANIEN makes most appeal in this having failed by only a short-head at Cork recently and may well have won if not for a mistake at the last. Ujumpthelastuwin was still in contention when falling a couple of hurdles from home at Naas and could also go well.
