Mount Welcome is more than capable of taking a race of this nature from this mark and was only caught on the line by Ta Blazes at Tramore recently. Like The Da is very consistent but may be a few pounds high and Mosman Park will need to do much better than on his return to hurdling at Fairyhouse earlier this month. The Buck is 9lb higher than when successful at Gowran in March and Lend A Hand Son has been well beaten from this mark in the past. Nivek's Dream likes fast ground so any firming up will be in his favour but a chance is taken on CATCH THE MOMENT, an easy maiden winner at Wexford in March and successful on the Flat at the Galway Festival.
