Arverne had shown little over fences before making all for a comfortable victory at Kilbeggan for which he's been raised 8lb. Winning point-to-pointer RULE OF JUNE was having only her second start over fences when scoring with plenty in hand at Tramore and a 7lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big run so she gets the nod. Walking The Walk was well supported in that latter event but failed to fire while Gelee Blanche hasn't run since scoring at Downpatrick in October though she looked progressive that day. I'm Not Alone looked in good shape when scoring at Tipperary but ran a shocker on faster going at Limerick next time.
