LOCH DARA won this last year under Harley Dunne and also landed a hunter's event at Gowran in March. He returns from a long lay-off but did so a year ago and that didn't stop him so should complete the double. The veteran Boxer Georg generally competed at a high level for Willie Mullins and ran some fine races without quite reaching the top. He's changed hands and should find this easier. Illusion Of Time is much better between the flags than over hurdles as he demonstrated at Loughrea last month but Derek O'Connor's presence will aid his cause. Cadawill was beaten 20l into third at Kilworth recently but at least should be fit enough to do himself justice.
