The veteran MR GOODENOUGH (NAP) won this a year ago from just 3lb lower and bounced back to form with a comprehensive victory at Leopardstown a month ago. He'll be ready for this and can see off his younger rivals with Rachael Blackmore's claim a huge bonus. Coolnagorna Giggs is up 7lb for his victory at Thurles in January but has won from a higher mark in the past while Oscar Knight stepped up to this trip for the first time with a good second at Navan but was behind the selection earlier. Fergiethelegend went up 7lb for his victory at Naas but he produced another fair run at Limerick and his low weight can help him into the frame. Down Under has the form for this at his best but he's been well beaten on testing ground recently.
