Just four runners here and though Moscow Prices has shown nothing the remaining trio look smart. PRINCE D'AUBRELLE showed the benefit of his earlier runs when storming to victory at Galway from the well-supported Lieutenant. The remainder were in another parish so the form looks strong enough for this. All The Answers didn't show much on his hurdling debut but someone must have seen something as he was heavily supported for a Ballinrobe bumper earlier this month and duly obliged. There should be more to come from him and also from Poetic Lady, who made an encouraging debut at Ballinrobe and attracted support in what looked a strong bumper at Roscommon which she won in style. She gets plenty of allowances from the selection and looks a danger.
