Danse Away didn't run very well here last time but had been in good form over hurdles and fences previously. Mon Lino, a useful hurdler, has a poor record over the bigger obstacles and though well enough handicapped is overlooked until showing some ability. KAYF THOU followed a Fairyhouse victory with a fair run back there from an 8lb higher mark. Jack Kennedy is back on board and he can steer his mount to another success. King's Song had a run around the banks course at Punchestown last time and that may be where his future lies while Kilganer Queen returns after a long break and has her first start for new connections.
