Winning point-to-ponter ALISIER D'IRLANDE landed a maiden hurdle in a canter at Thurles last March and set a very strong gallop on his chasing debut at Fairyhouse last month. He was still a long way clear when falling at the fourth last so hopefully he can get round safely this time and gain compensation. Never Enough Time, three times a winner over hurdles, eventually finished third in that latter event which was a decent start over the bigger obstacles and he could provide the main threat. Crown Of Gold hasn't managed a victory so far over hurdles but has produced several strong efforts and with a pedigree all about jumping fences he should make his presence felt. Indian File made a bright start over fences at Fairyhouse but jumped very poorly at Navan and will need to do much better here.
