Ram Them All couldn't cope with Knight's Parade at Downpatrick but had been narrowly beaten in his three previous starts and is on the shortlist. Burning Issues showed easily his best form to date when runner-up to Brand Ambassador at Navan and a big run from the winner in the previous race would point to his chances. RONAVA gained a very impressive victory over the minimum trip at Wexford before narrowly beaten when stepped up to this trip at Killarney. He's only had six runs over hurdles and though climbing the weights still looks capable of better so gets the nod. Snapchat had been promising to win before opening his account in comfortable style in a Listowel maiden and there is definitely more to come.
