AMLAD, a three-times winner on the level, looks to be heading in the right direction over hurdles if his latest second at Clonmel is a good guide. He has gone up 4lb and Bryan Cooper switches to last week’s penalised course winner Definiteadare but Rachael Blackmore isn’t a bad stand-in so Andrew McNamara’s charge gets the nod. The Great White has been keeping decent company and today’s quicker surface should help the seven-year-old as he returns from a short break. Fly De Megaudais is 1-23 and hasn’t raced since October
