Not So Simple jumped poorly in three starts over fences last summer but has reverted to hurdles in excellent form, scoring at Roscommon earlier this month. THE ABBEY has been placed in four of five starts over fences and scored over 2m at Dundalk in April. His third in a similar race to this at Downpatrick in May could be good enough for this as Emir De Rots' victory a couple of weeks ago came in a claiming hurdle. An Droichead Eile has been steadily progressing over hurdles, winning at Navan last month, and with a chaser's pedigree he looks a threat to all. Josephina's close third in a Tramore handicap puts her in the picture.
