Sunsetstorise was last seen in action winning last year’s renewal off an 8lb lower mark and has subsequently joined Gordon Elliott. He has to come into the reckoning and is preferred to stablemate Timiyan but FLEMENSTORM looks the safer proposition having gone close at Fairyhouse the last twice and finishing in front of a subsequent winner last time. All The Chimneys was runner-up at Clonmel last month and Effernock Lad ran well when last seen over these fences back in December.
