Rock On Barney is the only course and distance winner in the line-up but that victory came on heavy ground and it's his only success in 39 starts. Buttevant Boy made a very encouraging handicap debut over the extended 2m course here last month and is entitled to improve while EURO SO BRAVE ran well at Fairyhouse when last seen in November and with regular rider Trevor Ryan's claim a bonus he could be good enough. The veteran My Forever Friend has never won under Rules but will have found 2m too short at Thurles last time so has to be on the shortlist while Braize would enter calculations if the going turned testing as the winning point-to-pointer needs further.
