SOUTHFORK caught the eye when fifth on testing ground at Roscommon 11 days ago and that first start over hurdles is expected to have brought him on. The son of Nayef is taken to use that experience to his advantage and he's open to more improvement but the beautifully-bred Lady Geronimo is worth keeping a close eye on in the build up, while Porterman rates best of the rest.

Echo Bob is no stranger to success around here and Henry De Bromhead's C&D winner must come into the reckoning. Willie Mullins' 134-rated RATTAN is tough to oppose, however, and he should have enough class to give weight away to this select field. King High's recent form figures are somewhat uninspiring but he's capable of much better and looks most likely to cause the front two in the market a problem, while Norther Bay must step up considerably.

Ta Blazes is the sole runner going to post boasting C&D winning form but the veteran GIVE US A HAND makes most appeal on the back of two creditable efforts over fences the last twice. The ten-year-old has showed no signs of throwing in the towel and both recent Punchestown efforts suggested he maintains a healthy level of enthusiasm for the game. Switched to timber for this assignment, off a mark of 87, he's taken to get back to winning ways, while Kai Li completes the shortlist.

DEAREST GIRL left a lasting impression when third in a Limerick maiden last time out and the daughter of Galileo is expected to go very close off this mark of 98 on her handicap bow. She was keen enough over the 2m4f on that occasion and probably did well to finish as close as she did to the eventual winner, so she's worth another look and should have more to offer. Point The Toes and Willies Girl are others to take seriously.

BUNDLE OF FUN has earned a rating of 104 on the back of a brave effort at Wexford in handicap company last month and that level of form should be good enough to see him get off the mark over fences. That Beats Banaher has been knocking the door over further in recent months and is respected now dropped in trip, while Too Wild For Der can also play his part in the finish.

WESTERN PROMISE won with a bit in hand over 3m at Roscommon last week and a 7lb rise might not be enough to prevent another big run from him. Bruff and Bishop's Lane both finished behind him on that occasion and whilst they have place claims, there is no obvious reason why they should reverse that form. Preswell Lad could figure if reproducing the pick of his hurdles form back over larger obstacles.

Willie Mullins has won this race for the last three years and he can complete the four-timer with GREAT JONES. A full brother to Group 3 winner Rabatash, he could be a cut above these rivals. Roman Numeral shaped nicely when third at Sligo last time and he has solid place claims here with further improvement likely. Goodtime Boy makes some appeal on paper and any confidence behind him would be interesting.
