AFRAN BLUE looks the one to be on as he ran well over a slightly longer trip here in October then went one better at Limerick for which a 4lb rise looks fair. Allez Vic had been looking a likely future winner before falling at Navan and has to be considered while Preswell Lad, runner-up at Fairyhouse in January, reverts to hurdling after a short spell over fences. The four-year-old Redclue ran his best race to date behind Father Jack at Fairyhouse last month and should improve again but winning point-to-pointer Leanna Ban looks high in the weights for what he's achieved.
