Fighting Days isn't the most consistent of performers but did everything right at Down Royal and in that kind of form would have to be considered despite a 5lb rise. Crown Theatre is better known as a chaser these days but he's 16lb lower over hurdles and has run well the last twice he's faced the smaller obstacles. Copy Print might just find this too quick on his comeback but FLAVIANA enjoys the conditions and was still there with every chance when brought down at Ballinrobe after two earlier victories at Kilbeggan.
