Wild Shot completed a hat-trick here in the spring and is just 2lb higher than his last victory. Solar Heat is 3-16 on the track and scored over hurdles at Fairyhouse in November while Comporta finished runner-up there on New Year's Day. No Trouble scored over the extended 1m2f track in November and wasn't suited by dropping back to a mile next time though makes his debut over this trip as does Followme Followyou, whose overall form suggests she can go close off this mark. PAISTIUL isn't a stable star and was placed for the first time in nine starts a fortnight ago where she was always in the front rank. Ridden with more restraint here she can get off the mark, though Rockview Roman would be a major threat if getting a run from his reserve spot. Monsieur Piquer looks best of the remainder.
