Grand Partner is rated 135 over hurdles having won at Leopardstown in March and has another try over fences after three poor runs last summer. Nick Lost makes his debut over the bigger obstacles after an impressive victory in a handicap hurdle at Limerick but MIlsean has gone backwards since his close second in the Albert Bartlett Hurdle at Cheltenham in 2015. Prince Garyantle beat a huge field over timber here in April and finished second on his only start over fences last May so has to be respected as does Jaime Sommers, who was having only her second start over fences when runner-up to Ask Susan at Tramore. WONDEROFTHEWORLD, lightly-raced over hurdles, made a very promising start over the bigger obstacles at Killarney when chasing home the odds-on Up For Review. He looks to have plenty of scope and gets the nod in a race that should produce plenty of future winners.
