It's hardly surprising that CYBERSNOW has gone up 18lbs after his back-to-back victories last month as both were achieved with the minimum of fuss. Rookie trainer Emmet Butterly will see the six-year-old as his flag-bearer and though his latest success was gained on fast ground he is equally at home in soft conditions. Fearnwood Girl has been running very well and has no problems with the conditions, but she has yet to prove she stays this far and this is tough for a four-year-old filly. I Hear A Symphony is taking time to find his form since moving from the UK, but has gradually dropped to what looks a reasonable mark and Ruby Walsh is an eye-catching booking. King High looks a threat as he reverted to hurdles in decent form following his victory over fences at Tramore, though being raised 3lbs for finishing runner-up to Hunting Tower at Listowel won't aid his cause.
