Very Excellent won a maiden hurdle on his reappearance at Bellewstown in 2020 and arrives here in winning form having scored at Dundalk in March. Dollar Value is very versatile having won eight races in his career and had a run on the Flat last week after finishing fourth over fences at Kilbeggan. Mr Moondance won this after a long break last year from 7lb lower so another absence shouldn't be a problem but this can go to BRITZKA. Gordon Elliott's four-year-old has been competing at a very high level since landing a Fairyhouse maiden in December and will appreciate the drop in class.
