MONARCH will likely prove popular in this having found one too good in both starts over timber so far including when narrowly beaten at Listowel last time. Cinema De Quartier was still beaten a long way at Punchestown when runner-up on his hurdling debut but improvement should be forthcoming while Rathnaleen Girl was placed in a handicap last year but has a bit to find with Chasing Yesterday on these terms. Stablemates The Graduate and The Moore Factor were both decent on the Flat and are other likely improvers on the back of recent modest efforts over timber.
