Peace N' Milan won at Gowran in January but got outpaced from his new mark on a return visit last month. Admiral Brian scored at Clonmel in December and has been competing at a higher level subsequently. His rider's claim can see him in the firing-line though this can go to one of the lighter weights. NOBODY HOME (NAP) ran a cracking race over fences at Naas last time and can revert to hurdles on a lower mark so looks the one to be on. It's a year since Seskinane won a race but he's still higher in the weights while Tinos Tank hasn't been in the best of form over fences. The lightly-raced Cerealice showed a bit more dash last time and can reach the frame from her lowly spot in the handicap.
