NAME ME FAMOUS (NAP) is the only course and distance winner having completed a double, initiated at Limerick, with an easy success last month. He has an 11lb rise to contend with but a hat-trick beckons. Trebizond was in very good form on good ground last summer and couldn't handle softer conditions when well behind The Greek at Leopardstown on St Stephen's Day. He can turn the table on that winner on today's ground. Turkestan finished runner-up three times last summer including on this track but Itsalonglongroad has been racing over fences or at Dundalk. Bonarc is 1-31 but produces the occasional big performance as she did when runner-up in a Tipperary Grade 3 novices' hurdle in October.
