Double Windsor is the only one of these to have won over the trip though that was his only victory in 28 starts over hurdles. Pilbara has shown little in six starts over hurdles and fences but is lurking on a lowly mark as a consequence and with the right man to take advantage. Not So Simple has only had four starts and looks a bit high in the weights on what he's achieved but Lilly Geal's close second at Wexford would be good enough though she reverted to type at Clonmel next time. MY LOVELY BOY has had his jumping problems but ran very well when a close fourth at Punchestown in February and he gets the vote with his rider's claim a bonus.
