Pound A Stroke has only been here once, scoring over hurdles in 2017. He enters the fray with a victory over fences at Clonmel behind him and is still on a fair mark. KAVANAGHS CORNER (NAP) landed a course and distance handicap in fine style earlier this month and a 6lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a follow-up. He was beaten less than 2 lengths by Trumps Ace at Clonmel earlier and is 15lb better off with jockey claims taken into consideration. The front-running Wishmoor has been in the lead at this trip the last twice when tackling 3m at Navan so has to be a threat while At Your Ease will be better for a run behind the selection following a long break. Persian Wind pops up every now and then and was in touch when falling 2 out in that race so could prove a fair each-way alternative.
