Nicole's Milan has been in very good form over fences and shouldn't have a problem reverting to hurdles on a 9lb lower mark. Pack Your Bags was narrowly beaten twice over timber at the end of last year before a poor run over fences. If he's ready for this after a break he should go well while Victoria Bay, a comfortable winner over 2m4f at Fairyhouse, should have no problems staying the extra. WOOD EMERY (NAP) looked one to follow when scooting up in a Punchestown handicap in February but ran no sort of race when fancied to follow up at Gowran a month later. He'll need to be back to his best but hopefully can put that blip behind him. Nerual has yet to manage a victory but has finished close up in three of her last five and it will be a surprise if she's not in contention.
