Dun Scaith reverts to hurdles after two failed attempts over fences where he's been in contention when coming to grief. He's run some decent races over hurdles though over longer trips and may need a confidence booster. Winning bumper Celtic Abbey ran his best race to date over timber at Gowran though he's likely to be a short price here and LO SIENTO could be better value. Charlie Swan's charge found 3m much too far at Cork after looking to be progressing so reverting back to the minimum trip can bring about his first success. The remainder look up against it on the evidence shown so far.
