No Trouble gained his second victory on the track when well supported in February but finished a long way behind Wojood in the summer. The latter has run well over hurdles the last twice and should make a bold bid. Maricruz, three-times a winner on Turf, has yet to reach a place in four starts here though Colin Keane is a positive booking. Clonard Abbey isn't consistent but produced a very good run here last month and wouldn't need much more. However, PRIME CHIEF (NAP) scored with plenty in hand at Cork and can complete a double despite an 8lb rise. Aasleagh Fawn puts in a good run every now and then and this is a very moderate contest.
