Master Appeal found this trip and good ground to his liking at Punchestown and if managing to get round without mishaps can give a good account. Automated managed to scored at Dundalk and on heavy ground over hurdles at Navan last winter though his best effort came when runner-up at Aintree and he's on a lower mark here. Misty Lady attempted to make all over three miles at Gowran and was only caught in the closing stages so she should make a bold bid from the front while ASPEN COLORADO makes his handicap bow from what could prove to be a lenient mark. Joseph O'Brien's charge looked as though he needed a long trip when narrowly beaten by Joshua Lane over the minimum at Galway so this should suffice. Sir Scorpion bounced back to form when runner-up to the in-form Jack The Wire at Listowel and is another who will be suited by the longer trip.
