Teach Nua, a promising hurdler in 2009, hasn't been seen since last May and is probably warming up for Galway. CHAPARRO has slowly climbed the ratings without winning but looked ready to regain the winning thread when staying on very strongly over a mile at Bellewstown earlier this month. Crying Aloud has dropped to a very lowly mark and showed signs of a revival at Navan last month while Appletreemagic generally competes in a slightly higher grade and should be at home in this class. Prince Of Fashion could prove the main threat despite an absence since October as he ran his best race to date from a 2lb higher mark here in September.
