ART LORD was left clear for an easy victory over three miles here last month but couldn't handle the step up in class at Leopardstown. Back in this grade, he can get back to winning ways. Little Glenshee won very easily over hurdles here last March but hasn't run as well over fences recently. Willie Hall won twice here last month and shot up the weights as a consequence, though he again ran well on the track a couple of weeks ago. What A Dream has a very similar profile to the latter but was beaten a very long way at Newcastle last time.
