Crosshue Boy had a tremendous run over fences in the spring winning four times including a lucrative handicap at Ayr. He had a run over hurdles to put him straight last month and is greatly respected on a 23lb lower mark than over the bigger obstacles. WONDER LAISH has only had two starts over hurdles, making a successful debut at Listowel last September. He's been in good form on the Flat subsequently and will be ready for this after a close third in the November Handicap at Naas a week ago. Gold Seal is only four but has managed to win three times over timber including a handicap in his age group at Listowel where he was awarded the race. He'll find it tougher against older horses but Ange D'or Javilex showed potential in his early days though became disappointing and has joined Gordon Elliott. He's starting out for the yard on a lowly mark and there are few better at exploiting the situation. Misty Millie made Bay Hill pull out the stops at Listowel and the winner has scored on the Flat subsequently.
