KANDINSKI is very consistent and should gain his reward in a race that won't take much winning. His opening run over fences behind Coolking at Sligo would be good enough and he should make further progress. All Day Long looks the main danger as there's a line of form over hurdles through Coolmill that puts him very close to the selection. Ring Ben was well beaten on his only start over fences in 2012 and has been inconsistent over hurdles while Dougal Philps was beaten a long way on his debut over fences at Clonmel.
