Mtada Supreme is a veteran of the cross-country circuit here and has won a handicap off a 9lb higher mark. Cresus De Grissay has only had two runs over fences, both at Wexford, and could find this a bit daunting but Se Mo Laoch is tough and consistent and has been running so well over hurdles and fences that he looks certain to get into contention. However, he has nothing in hand on Witness Of Fashion on their 1-2 at Leopardstown in March nor on GUNFIRE REEF when they were placed at Galway last month. The latter has never won and hasn't looked the easiest of rides the last twice but Danny Mullins knows him well and can hopefully time his challenge to perfection. Bosco Di Alco is also a maiden over fences but could go well if the ground remains good.
