Nostra Casa has a big weight for his handicap debut but this is a poor-quality event and Andrew Slattery's claim can see him in the frame. Conor Hogan will have found 1m2f too short at Roscommon and has probably been bought for hurdling so the trip shouldn't be a problem but it's difficult to know what to make of Princess Zoe, a dual winner in Germany, though she wouldn't need to be especially smart to make her presence felt. Walking On Glass is a real stayer over timber and any further rain would help but this looks another for Denis Hogan with WOJOOD. He showed nothing in five maidens for Hugo Palmer but made an eye-catching debut for new connections at Dundalk when staying on strongly over a slightly shorter trip.
