Bitview Colin won this a year ago from the same mark but has been out of form. Carnet De Stage is 0-20 but was only headed at the last at Tramore last month while Northern Love was having only his second start over fences when runner-up at Killarney. Buttons And Bows showed major improvement when well supported at Wexford coming home 11l clear for which she's been raised 10lb though she's still on a lower mark than over hurdles. AVEC ESPOIR looked like winning on the latter track earlier this month when going clear three out but was headed at the last. That was over 3m1f so this shorter trip can see him go one better.
