Ros Brin finished last of four in this a year ago and has had just two subsequent starts. Too Scoops, a Listed winner over hurdles, ran three times over fences around this time a year ago and showed plenty of promise. He ran poorly when reverting to hurdles for his last two starts in the spring but his allowance makes him a contender. Kandinski has finished runner-up in eight of his 13 starts under Rules but gained a very easy victory over the course and distance in March. He's an obvious threat but race sharpness and a 4lb allowance could just swing things the way of FEVER PITCH. Arthur Moore's charge couldn't hold off Dushrembrandt at Roscommon last month but was conceding 10lb and had the rest well beaten.
