Good Fella has gone up 3lb for finishing runner-up over 2m4f here last month which looks harsh as he hasn't won for three years. Prince Of Forwards gained an impressive success at Thurles last month and would be in the shake-up on that form, despite a subsequent 9lb rise, while Vast Consumption is tackling this trip for the first time and should be suited. CAHERONAUN is another making her debut over this distance but she has always looked a real stayer in the making and, though raised 7lb for her success over 2m4f here last month, is given the vote to follow up. Our Victoria has been going quite well over fences and, as she's 15lb lower over hurdles, looks a big threat.
