Many of these are warming up for fences including cross-country specialists Josies Orders and Auvergnat, 1-2 in the La Touche Cup at Punchestown in April. The King Of Brega battled on stoutly to land a Gowran handicap earlier this month but the veteran Seskinane doesn't win often and prefers heavier ground. CROSSHUE BOY won four times over fences in the spring including a novices' championship handicap at Ayr. He can return to hurdles on a 23lb lower mark and will take all the beating. High Sparrow has only run four times over hurdles and, though running really well on his return to action at Listowel, this is a stiff task against experienced rivals. Suinda makes her handicap debut and is another lacking experience while Oh'herewego is up 8lb after landing a minor handicap at Tipperary. Mysloegin was engaged in the 4.25 here yesterday.
