CERCA TROVA was a very fortunate winner over hurdles at Clonmel last time where she took advantage of mayhem at the second last to complete a double initiated at Fairyhouse. She hasn't had much experience over fences but wasn't beaten far over a longer trip here in 2014 and can complete a hat-trick in this moderate company. Taboo showed much improved form in a point at Grennan in November though she was beaten a distance in both hunter chase starts on this track a year ago. Davyroy has won twice between the flags but has run very poorly over regulation fences and though Waltz Legend won a point at Tattersalls Farm in December she's struggled subsequently.
