Drumconnor Lad and Oh Me Oh My have plenty to do on official ratings but the remainder look closely matched. Last Goodbye won a Grade A handicap at Leopardstown in February and should be scoring again soon though usually needs his first run back. Jett is only 2-12 over fences but has produced some good efforts in strong company and the ground looks right. Wishmoor was a very progressive novice for Mouse Morris last season and has joined Joseph O'Brien though all of his winning form is on testing ground. Any more rain and he'll be a threat to all though TYCOON PRINCE looks the safest option. Gordon Elliott's charge hasn't quite made the expected progress after scoring at Leopardstown in December but he's mainly competed at a much higher level and will be sharper for his run in a Grade 3 at Naas a fortnight ago.
