Mephisto scored at Sandown for Ralph Beckett a year ago but didn't take to hurdles over the winter. Winning hurdler Mr Coldstone started favourite on his return to the Flat at Galway but could only finish mid-division. IVY AVENUE has mainly been racing over 1m2f since scoring over that trip at Cork but looks as though she'll be suited by this distance and can take this moderate event. Belgoprince has looked moderate since arriving from France while all-weather winner Hurricane Alex has yet to reach a place on Turf.
