TEOCHT didn't run as a two-year-old and took some time to warm up last season but ended with a double and, as she is just 3lb higher, can make a successful return. Marchese Marconi is no stable star but likes the ground and trip and can reverse last season's Limerick form with Fleur De Nuit on favourable terms. Hurricane Ridge was in good form over hurdles when last seen in October and is well enough treated to make his presence felt while Cullentry Royal will be fit enough having had a recent run at Down Royal, though the going could be a problem.
