Candle Island is the only course and distance winner in the line-up but is 13lb higher than that victory in November. MICK THE JIVER is improving and a better round of jumping than when runner-up at Limerick would see him difficult to beat - he gets the nod in a tricky contest. All The Chimneys appeared suited by dropping down to the minimum trip when scoring at Cork while Vic Approach is ground dependant and his only victory to date came on good to firm over fences at Tramore. He's well handicapped back over hurdles and if the going dries out would have to be respected. Point-to-point winner Easy To Find ran well at Musselburgh in January and, if her latest effort at Fairyhouse can be forgiven, could run into a place.
