CLER found only one too good on his second hurdles start at Clonmel in February and returned to that level of form when again narrowly denied at Wexford last month. He is fancied to register a deserved success today. Priest Field's second to Prospectorous in a maiden hurdle at Tipperary in October reads well in this company, while Like A Duke, twice a runner-up between the flags, shaped with promise when fifth in a maiden hurdle on his NH bow at Fairyhouse last month.

VICTRAM, third in a decent handicap on the Flat at the Curragh last month, has contested some top hurdle events in the UK this season and his fourth to Ashkazar in the Listed Imperial Cup at Sandown looks particularly strong form in the context of this event. Splurge has enjoyed a fine season and wasn't disgraced in fourth at Fairyhouse last month, while the in-form Waly's Own, beaten a short-head by Ten To Two at Cork just over a fortnight ago, another must for the short-list.

TRANQUIL SEA was put in his place when eighth in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham last month, but he'd looked really impressive prior to that and a repeat of his third to Forpadydeplasterer at Leopardstown in February may suffice this afternoon. Raven's Run also struggled to land a serious blow at the Cheltenham Festival but his two previous seconds in Grade 2 company put him right in the picture. Decoy Daddy boasts some top form from late last year and arrives here fresh from a break; he's hard to dismiss.

FORGIVEMEMARIA won at Clonmel before finding only one too good in Listed company here latest and further progress is expected. She is preferred to Navan winner Brave Betsy who was still going well when unseating her rider at Fairyhouse and should figure with a clear round, while Brotenstown opened her account over these obstacles last month.

CANDY GIRL had the reopposing Callherwhatyoulike behind when winning in Grade 3 company over this trip at Leopardstown in January. A runner-up to the useful looking Carrigeen Kalmia at Fairyhouse last time, she has obvious claims on the formbook and gets the vote. Wheresben made it two wins on the bounce when running out a battling winner at Navan last month and is clearly going the right way. He along with Drunken Disorderly rate as the main dangers.

SMOKING ACES made a really good impression when a stylish winning debutant at Thurles in February and he is fancied to confirm the huge potential he showed that day by winning again. Just Friends answered every call when also winning at the first time of asking and he, along with Galant Ferns and Definite Deploy, head the list of dangers.

OSCALONG LUCY comes into this in winning form having opened his account with a gritty success over 2m 4f at Clonmel last month and she is taken to follow up on her handicap bow today. Arkmore Radar has been in good heart of late and followed his Clonmel victory by finishing third over hurdles at this venue last month. He is of interest back over fences with Right Now another of note.
