After an easy victory at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day, Not For Burning couldn't cope with a 7lb rise at Leopardstown but didn't run badly and is at the right end of the weights. Mall Dini was a very impressive maiden winner at Thurles and ran well enough in a tough handicap at Leopardstown a few days later to suggest he is progressing well enough to get involved here. Mydor was beaten a head in this last year and is 9lb higher. He's been chasing and the return to hurdling can see him in the frame again. ROSSVOS (NAP) completed a double initiated over fences on this track when gaining the easiest of victories over hurdles at Navan. He's since been well beaten in the Paddy Power but the return to timber can see him back on the winning trail. Oscar Sam is in such superb form that a four-timer isn't out of the question despite a massive 12lb rise for his victory over 2m4f here on New Year's Eve.
