Very little to go on here but LETTER OF CREDIT's fifth behind Rebel Fitz at Galway is the best form on view and he could be good enough. Academy Rose occupied the same position behind Brave Beauty here last month but was beaten a long way and will need to do better. How's The Cad has been pulled up in three points but the fact that he's now with Willie Mullins suggests someone has faith in him while Hair Oil Jimmy, a half-brother to a winning hurdler and out of a winning jumper, may prove best of the rest.
