Conron loves it around here and with the going easing can get into contention just 6lb higher than his track victory in October. Humm Baby scored over fences last August and was returning from a long break when staying on over a trip too short at Cork in July. RHYTHM DIVINE easily landed a Downpatrick maiden before another comfortable success in a Bellewstown handicap. She's up 8lb but can complete a hat-trick. The King Of Brega alternates between hurdles and fences and has won nine times. He was returning from a long break when a close third at Downpatrick last month though wouldn't want any more rain. Quamino is up 12lb for scoring at Roscommon though is still 14lb lower than his chase mark though the main threat may come from Razoul, who has been in good form over fences and takes a drop in class from his recent starts over hurdles.
