A big field but few with realistic chances. Winning bumper Moulane West couldn't see off Desert Friend at Listowel but looks certain to get into contention and meets SILVER BREEZE on level terms with his rider's claim taken into account. The latter scrambled home in a Wexford bumper but hurdling should be her game and this looks a good opportunity. Royal Romeo dead-heated for a Fairyhouse bumper in November and a run on the Flat last week will have blown the cobwebs away while Champagne Problem made a successful debut in a Sligo bumper in August before well beaten in a Listed race and the lack of a recent run won't be a problem.
