The three main contenders here are all owned by Gigginstown. Gordon Elliott has been unable to find a race for Monition, who ran over fences last time though was well beaten. He's now 0-15 over hurdles while Ificudiwud, a winning point-to-pointer, has had nine starts under Rules without winning. The latter hasn't been beaten far the last twice and looks best of the pair though GUTTURAL may have the edge. Joseph O'Brien's charge looked a likely future winner when runner-up over 2m4f at Wexford but looked one-paced at Downpatrick. He should be better suited by this easier ground and has the beating of Stylish Moment on that Wexford run. Weihnachts has shown the occasional sign of ability and will be ridden by the in-form Darragh O'Keeffe
