Pirolo won over the course and distance in April and over 1m2f at Fairyhouse later. He ran poorly at Naas last time but that didn't look his form. Next Bend is the other track and trip winner in the line-up and he's also scored over hurdles here so could go well at a fair price but this can go to HIGH KICKER (NAP) from a yard in good form. Peter Fahey's mare looked a decent prospect back in 2015 and was having her first start since August of that year when staying on strongly over slightly shorter at Tipperary last month. Traidisiun ran a bit better at Fairyhouse last time while Shoulda Lied is an intriguing entry from the Willie Mullins yard as he makes his handicap debut having only raced up to a mile in three maidens last season. Political Policy hasn't won since January of last year but Pat Smullen has been booked and it would be no shock to see Gavin Cromwell's charge get involved from his falling mark.
