Accord Aris landed a maiden hurdle here in May but didn't get far before unshipping Paul Carberry on his chasing bow at Listowel last week. Auenschutze hasn't won for over two years but has gone very close on several occasions and has run well on fast ground at this track. He can go well on his chasing debut as can Excellent As Usual though the latter will need to brush up his jumping as he made several mistakes when scoring over hurdles here last month. SEBADEE likes fast going as he showed when scoring comfortably over timber at Tramore in April. He's been in good form subsequently and can make a winning start over the bigger obstacles. Meyday Frontier keeps finding one too good but there's nothing wrong with his attitude and he's another newcomer to fences who should get competitive. Chaussettes has plenty of experience and his poor run at Killarney last time was probably due to the sticky ground.
