Pino Boy was having his 20th start over hurdles when finally getting off the mark at Navan in December, for which he's been raised 5lb. Ballymadun won this in 2019 from 4lb higher and, though unsuccessful subsequently, looks to be running into form. WAKE THE GIANT hasn't had much experience but showed there's a race to be won with him when placed at Fairyhouse in January. Going easily and sent on two out that day, he only weakened close home in the very testing ground and better conditions can see him hold on this time. Oscer Romero has a very similar profile to the selection having just failed to get home over the same track and trip earlier this month. Golden Sunset failed to take advantage of a 15lb lower mark when well supported back over timber on the latter track having won two of his last three over fences at this time a year ago. Rossmore's Pride, who won this in 2018, can never be ruled out on this track.
