The veteran Marshim won this a year ago from exactly the same mark so should be kept on the right side as should the once promising Our Musician, who was having his first start since 2011 when well beaten at Gowran last month. Cool Oscar isn't in the best of form but is just 2lb higher than his success at Punchestown last May. Green Energy gained his first hurdles victory over this trip at Down Royal on St Patrick's Day then went to Navan and scored over the minimum. He's up another 8lb but is clearly in good shape and poses a threat to all. DRIVE ON LOCKY had gone close on several occasions but remained winless until eleven days ago when he scored at Tramore. He'd finished runner-up two days earlier at Wexford so now he's struck form he looks the one to be on.
