Western Sea arrives in very good form having followed a head defeat at Tramore with a victory over 2m5f at Sligo while Stylish Moment gained a surprise victory when making most over 2m3f at Downpatrick for which he's been raised 9lb. EVERLASTINGPROMISE (NAP) was always in the front rank at Clonmel and drew right away from the last. He's been hit with a 12lb rise but still doesn't look badly treated and can go in again. Captain Cobajay has always done best over the minimum trip as he showed at Fairyhouse and wouldn't want any more rain while Barna Venture is 7lb higher than his latest victory at Punchestown on New Year's Eve.
