Verdict

AA BEE SEE (NAP) only ran six times last year but won twice over hurdles and once on the Flat, all on testing ground. He was impressive at Punchestown in December and is on a low enough mark to go in again. Graineyhill arrives in top form having been brought with a well-timed effort to lead close home over this trip at Fairyhouse. He's up another 9lb but had something in hand and looks certain to make another bold bid. Peace N' Milan, who had been a long way behind the selection at Punchestown, showed that form to be all wrong when beating Graineyhill over this track and trip last month and can meet that rival on 7lb better terms with his rider's claim taken into account. The veteran Letter Of Credit has a break to overcome and doesn't win very often over hurdles while Call The Taxie needs a confidence booster after failing to complete over fences in his two recent starts.
