URANO looked a decent chasing prospect when easily landing a Cork beginners event on his debut but jumped moderately when finding Grade 2 company too hot at Navan. This is more his grade and he can get back to winning ways. Draycott Place has come up against some useful performers and has a victory at Limerick to his credit so he's no forlorn hope with Ryan Treacy able to claim his 7lb. Rocky Wednesday has been highly tried since losing his maiden tag over fences at Down Royal in February so there's no reason why he shouldn't go well but Vic Approach faces a stiff task on his chasing debut.
