Burn The Boats has some strong form but not on ground with some give nor has his stablemate Vector Force, who will be one to note when the ground firms up. I'll Be Your Clown won't mind the conditions but appears to need further and his stablemate Vitally Important may have more of a chance as he ran well for a long way over 1m1f at Leopardstown. Defining Year is on a very lenient mark compared to a year ago and looks a threat but it's LEAN AND KEEN who is given the nod. Sean Byrne's charge scored twice over hurdles last summer but has won twice over a mile and ran a tremendous race when chasing home the prolific Princess Aloof over 7f at Leopardstown a couple of weeks ago so can go one better. Intense Style looks best of the remainder on his return to Turf.
