It's a long time since IN COMPLIANCE was beating War Of Attrition in the John Durkan here but Dessie Hughes' charge generally competes at a higher level than this and will find these rivals more to his liking. Coolcashin hasn't had too much experience over fences and looked suited by further when landing a 3m1f handicap at The Festival here last month. Schelm has been mixing it with the very best over fences since his victory at Bangor in November while See You Bob would have got the vote here if the ground had some give as it was heavy when he beat Kempes at Thurles in January. Jockey bookings suggest Justified is the pick of Gordon Elliott's pair though Jubilant Note had been in good form at around this trip before finding 2m5f stretching his stamina at Killarney.
