Aa Bee See last ran over hurdles a year ago and, though he's won on the Flat and over hurdles around here, all of his victories have come on heavy ground. FATHER JED had been badly out of form before coming here last month and gaining a surprise victory. He's up 5lb but a repeat would see him difficult to beat so he gets the nod. Secret Cargo ran poorly at Gowran after scoring over the minimum at Tramore on New Year's Day while winning point-to-pointer and bumper Castletown Quary has only shown moderate form over timber and makes his handicap debut. De Mazzaro has never raced beyond the minimum trip, nor has Cork maiden winner Buttons And Bows but Paul Townend's presence on board Duke's Girl suggests she is worth a second look.
