This looks no more competitive than the first division with BUDDY RICH seemingly having a simple task to lose his maiden tag. Twice placed in big fields at Punchestown and Fairyhouse, he should appreciate the longer trip and quicker ground. Winning point-to-pointer Ardera Rue had some fair form in bumpers though has never faced anything but testing conditions while Thedancingfarrier, a dual winner between the flags, looked one-paced over this trip at Cork last month. Attoe may do best of the remainder.
