Ryback Jack is penalised for a bumper victory but Enumerater will be suited by the trip and ground. Mick Spadoun makes a quick reappearance after attempting to make all at Navan on Saturday and he'll enjoy the testing conditions more than most. Ryansbrook gave supporters of the odds-on Golantilla a fright here in November and he won't mind the conditions but Samson Bill could have been found an easier opportunity for his debut over timber. Vedettariat is also having his first run over hurdles and has only shown moderate form in bumpers though a victory between the flags suggests he'll be better now facing obstacles. VENITIEN DE MAI (NAP) was unbeaten in four point-to-points before turning to hurdling and though beaten on both starts his latest run behind the very promising Roi Des Francs over this course and distance points to his obvious chance of gaining his first victory under Rules.
