CAPPACURRY ZAK won this last year on heavy ground and, though 5lb higher, two runs over hurdles in December should have set him up nicely for another crack and he gets the nod. Rocky's Silver won a maiden hurdle here in November then a handicap chase at Tramore but went up 16lb which took it's toll on his latest start at Tramore. Capture The Drama has managed to win eight races over fences and was taking on much better class rivals at Leopardstown last time while The Ballyboys has Rachael Blackmore in the saddle and her mount has shown enough ability to get into contention from his lowly mark. Castafiore Park, a winning point-to-pointer and hurdler, has only had four starts over fences so should be open to improvement.
