SMASH THE LAMP is the only one of these arriving in form having beaten a huge field of handicappers over 3m at Punchestown. He's up 6lb but is lightly-raced for his age and can defy the extra. Nicole's Milan scored at Fairyhouse in December and is a strong stayer who will enjoy the conditions so he's expected to be thereabouts. Winning point-to-pointer Townhill Penny hasn't shown much in maidens for Gordon Elliott but makes her handicap debut on a lowly mark. The latter remark also applies to Champ Royal, who showed some improvement at Fairyhouse last time.
