Tooreen, the only course and distance winner in the line-up, has been chasing and reverts to hurdles in conditions he's never faced in 20 starts. Oisin James showed he was well suited to good ground when holding off the determined challenge of URTHEONEIWANT at Tramore earlier this month. There's unlikely to be much between them again but the runner-up made a slight mistake at the last and is taken to reverse the form and land this. Danali has shown her best form to date on heavy going while Fu's Island hasn't progressed as expected from her victory at Gowran in October but Night Generation completed a hat-trick for Sir Mark Prescott last summer and has had the requisite three runs over timber to get a rating.
