Irish import Bar De Ligne makes his debut for new connections and has claims on his fourth at Fairyhouse in April, but BRANDON THOMAS is taken to make the most of his fitness advantage. The latter finished runner-up at Huntingdon last month and can go one better here with that run under his belt. Elton Fox has a chance if reproducing last year's debut fifth at this track, while Crescent Beach may finish closer on his return after a fourth at Ludlow in March. Royal Commission is related to a winner over hurdles and makes most appeal of the newcomers.
