Henry Howard has shown nothing in either start over hurdles and this can go to ALAMEIN. Mouse Morris' charge, a winning bumper, has come up against some useful rivals over timber and ran well behind Haymount here last time. He takes a step-up in trip here but should be suited and can get off the mark. Blessed King looks a real threat despite a disappointing run at Thurles where front-running didn't appear to suit. He stays the trip and is happy on the ground so should get into the mix. Paper Lantern, a winning point-to-pointer, was badly impeded at the first bend at Clonmel in December and did well to be beaten just five lengths so he can get involved.
