Joseph O'Brien looks to hold the key to this in a race that shouldn't take much winning. THERMISTOCLES, a winning bumper and hurdler, fell on his chasing bow at Thurles and has been back over hurdles to boost his confidence. He's a much better hurdler than stable companion Ellipsism though the latter did manage to win twice in the autumn. Chief Of Police is still a maiden but jumped quite well on his chasing debut at Leopardstown and that will stand him in good stead here. Pacte In The Park, a dual winner between the flags, will be better for his chasing bow on the latter track and may prove best of the remainder.
