SIBERIAN STAR has been here twice and won both including this a year ago. An easy winner over fences at the December fixture he's 9lb lower back over timber and has had a nice break. Round The Buoy followed an easy but surprise victory at Punchestown with another facile success at Thurles for which he's been raised 16lb but a mark of 108 could still be underestimating him. A Different World's close second over the trip at Punchestown in January was a cracking effort and he's at the right end of the handicap. He just holds Kilbarry Chianti on that run while Lessofdnegativity has been going well over fences.
