VIADUCT BUD improved during the last campaign and landed a Clonmel handicap on his final start a year ago. He didn't reappear until last month but was disputing the lead when falling two out and can gain compensation. Tequila Lord continues to perform with credit at this sort of level but has only won once in 23 starts over timber while Dashing Ruby hasn't won over hurdles for some time and prefers softer ground. Empire Theatre hasn't really kicked on after beating a huge field of maidens at Fairyhouse two years ago but Golanbrook should be kept on the right side, though a poor recent run at Cork would have to be ignored. Galianna finally got off the mark over timber at Navan and doesn't look overburdened on her handicap debut.
