Hasanabad looked one to follow when landing a Tipperary maiden but then finished last in a Cork handicap. Winning hurdler Flat To The Max struggled in a similar contest at Listowel last month but Humaniste has won on the Flat in France and over timber at Fairyhouse so should get competitive. Willie Mullins runs both Mr Adjudicator, a superb Grade 2 winner over hurdles at Auteuil last month but likely to need softer ground than this, and dual bumper winner ROYAL ILLUSION, who won a similar race to this at Leopardstown last month and can complete a double.
