Almost half of this field are making their debuts over timber including likely favourite Frawley, a bumper winner at Leopardstown last February before finishing third to Cue Card in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham. Dual winning bumper DYLAN ROSS was beaten a distance at the Curragh in April so it's difficult to be too optimistic but he was in command when falling at the last on his hurdling debut at Down Royal in December and a chance is taken that he'll be fit enough. Just For Joe could provide a major threat as he progressed out of all recognition in the spring, landing a Cork bumper by an incredible 24 lengths. Dynamic Approach and Flycorn look best of the remainder.
