DEE CAPO is penalised for a convincing bumper success at Galway but can make a successful hurdling debut. Flat winner Wandering Rocks also carries extra but made a promising hurdling debut at Listowel. Poets Cottage has plenty of experience which should stand him in good stead in these conditions while Bayou Belle was only beaten a length at Kilbeggan, though that was on good ground. Picture Of You looks best of in-form Henry De Bromhead's pair with Rachael Blackmore on board while winning point-to-pointer The Passing Wife would need to be considered if getting a run.
