The mare YABO has the best recent form over fences having been narrowly beaten at Clonmel and her allowance can see her home. Winning hurdler An Droichead Eile wasn't beaten far on chasing debut at Tipperary last summer but the main danger looks to be No Thanks. A dual winner over hurdles last summer, he was only beaten less than a length on his only start over fences in this race a year ago. Winning hurdlers Steps Match and Sight Nor Seen make their chasing debuts and have to be respected.
