Cobra Commander has won over fences but has yet to place in five starts over hurdles. EASKEY LAD has won over timber and has been successful over fences recently so gets the nod as Ballymilan’s form lately leaves a bit to be desired and Immortal Fame weakened quickly over this trip at Doncaster last season. T'Araison may be the pick of the remainder receiving weight all round.
