Enda Bolger has won 10 of the last 12 with Josies Orders successful three times over these banks fences. The veteran has had a couple of runs in points but needs to bounce back from some moderate runs last winter. Plinth could be the stable pick in his first-ever start over these unique obstacles as he managed to win nine times over hurdles and scored over fences at Kilbeggan last year. Ballyboker Bridge is a veteran of these races and is another with three victories to his credit. Third behind the smart Yanworth and today's rival NEVERUSHACON in the race a year ago, he was also a couple of lengths behind the latter over the track and trip in February so it's Jessica Harrington's charge who looks the one to beat. Some Neck, a classy performer for Willie Mullins with a Grade 2 victory to his credit, is interesting on his debut in this sphere along with Mr Diablo, last seen in the Troytown at Navan a couple of weeks ago.
