Debt To Society has some reasonable form to his credit though his best recent run was over fences and he's had plenty of chances. CLONARD LAD was having just his second start over hurdles and his first since 2010 when runner-up to Balynaclash Warrior over 3m at Listowel last month and, with that under his belt and the shorter trip in his favour, he'll take all the beating. Winning bumper King Shabra ran very well at Gowran last week and should be in the shake-up while Rightdownthemiddle, who showed plenty of promise in bumpers, made an encouraging start over hurdles behind Rossvos at Galway.
