Hard Bought generally runs well here and scored over fences in November. He's only had three subsequent runs and is one to keep an eye on. Magnetic Force is better over hurdles but gained his first success over fences at Wexford earlier this month and still looks well treated despite a big weight. Runner-up in that latter event was TEMPLEMICHAEL, who was staying on and will be better suited by this longer trip. Davy Russell takes over the reins and his mount can finally lose his maiden tag. Jack The Hat has been alternating between hurdles and fences and has been in good form but Tb Broke Her has a poor strike-rate and looked better suited by a much longer trip when runner-up at Wexford last time.
