Thanks For Tea ran well against some smart chasers last year though hasn't been seen since December. TOP OF THE TOWN was returning from a long break when beating Baily Moon at Tipperary and can confirm the form as that was his debut over fences. Round Tower has been racing against smart opposition without being disgraced and looks a threat but jumping has been the problem for All Hell Let Loose after his victory at Kilbeggan last summer. Don Vicenzo ran well for a long way at Wexford last month, his first start for a year, so he can go well in an interesting race.
