VASCO DU MEE has only had three poor runs over hurdles yet gets into this contest with top weight but he's shown massive improvement over fences and if transferring that here he would take all the beating. Duty Dance beat a huge field at Punchestown in February so should have done better on her next start at Cork but ran poorly. Try It Sometime has shown a glimmer of ability which may be enough to get him involved here while Ennisnag would have a chance if able to repeat his second place here in August though that was on quicker ground than he'll face this time. The market could provide some clues to the others in what is a very moderate affair.
