Kylecrue is upped a further 5lb after landing a double with a win at Ballinrobe but still has plenty to find on today's terms with Ballychorus. The latter scored over fences at Down Royal before finishing runner-up over timber at Roscommon. GOLD BULLET (NAP) has also been chasing but has won two of four starts over hurdles and can come out best if running anywhere near his current mark. Ongenstown Lad finished closer at Cartmel last time and is preferred to the returning maiden winner Millie Le Bach and Cootamundra.
