EASY VIC isn't the most consistent of performers and his best recent form has been over hurdles but he's got more talent than a 88-rated chaser and this should be his day. Ballylibert gained his first ever victory under Rules at Killarney but that was on fast ground and he's 6lb higher which may let in runner-up Blaze Of Fire, who was only narrowly beaten. Oscar Leney was probably a bit unlucky when beaten a head by Chrisdonlady at Killarney and has the scope to make a bold bid.
