Officers Mess arrives in winning form having just held on at Wexford earlier this month. That was after a very long break so there's every chance of further progress. Guido Reni makes a quick reappearance after a battling victory over I'm Serious at Tipperary on Thursday. The latter would have to be seriously considered if getting a run from his reserve spot as he's 6lb better off. THE LAST INDIAN, who made excellent progress on the Flat last season, is going the same way over hurdles following a very promising comeback at Sligo with a comfortable victory at Tipperary on Thursday. A 6lb penalty doesn't look anywhere near enough to prevent a quick follow-up. The lightly-raced four-year-old Edna made a promising handicap debut at Clonmel and should be winning soon so could provide the main threat.
