Three-times hurdles winner Stormey was having his 20th start over fences when a decent fourth at Galway last week but hasn't improved from his early form over the bigger obstacles. Sholsang was beaten half-a-length on his chasing bow at Down Royal but hasn't made the expected progress but Custers Mistake ran his best race to date behind the in-form Dad's Lad at Limerick. The Tack Room has shown ability over timber and makes his chasing debut as does the owner's Ena Baie, a winning bumper and hurdler. INFLUENTIAL LADY chased the prolific Ash Tree Meadow for a long way at Killarney and only lost second close home so that form would probably be good enough for this. Homme D'Un Soir is a better hurdler than most of these so has to be respected on his debut over fences.
