Fenno's Storm has won nine times between the flags and twice over regulation fences including under Richie Deegan at Gowran in March. The combination will make a bold bid to strike again though IT CAME TO PASS looks the one to beat. He's failed to complete in two of his last three but won a hunter-chase here in April and another at Killarney the following month so should be good enough. Macs Legend beat Fenno's Storm in a point in February but was behind him at Gowran while Wrong Direction might well be unbeaten after falling in a maiden hunters' race at Limerick in-between two victories in points.
