Department Of War is clear on official ratings but there is not a considerable amount of really solid form in his profile and COULONCES makes greater appeal on return from an absence of just over 80 days when the daughter of Le Havre was fifth of seven in a Down Royal handicap on the level. The mare has shown some fair form in three starts over hurdles since joining Gavin Cromwell, including when turning over a Willie Mullins hotpot at Fairyhouse. She's still lightly-raced over timber and should go well. War God ran well in a similar race to this when a Roscommon runner-up last time and both It Takes Time and Take A Turn are worthy of consideration.
