Theos Well completed a double over the minimum trip here last summer and though not going so well on the Flat subsequently he's found the going too testing. Nine Stiches ploughed through heavy ground for an impressive maiden victory at Thurles and ran quite well here last time but has to deal with much quicker conditions. Seeyouallincoppers has a career strike-rate of 1-32 but ran so well at the Punchestown Festival that he'll be difficult to keep out of the frame in that kind of form. ROSIE ALICE (NAP) also returned to form at that fixture running well behind Shamiran. That was her first sign of form since completing a double in December and this looks a good opportunity. All About Alfie is still on a very competitive mark despite another fine run at Fairyhouse though he has yet to tackle this trip.
