Canadian Steel, who has been in good form recently, was engaged in the 4.00 at Sligo yesterday so that result should be monitored. The veteran King Of Aran hasn't run over hurdles since scoring here in May last year but a couple of recent runs on the Flat will have put him straight though the concession of 7lb to BASIL'S BOY may prove beyond him. Liam Cusack's charge hadn't shown much before stepping up to this course and distance last month and producing easily his best form to date. He's 7lb higher but further progress can see him complete a double. Baltygirl ran her best race on quick ground over 2m7f so the ground will suit but course and distance winner Caerleon Kate is 1-28 and was a long way behind the selection here last time.
