Verdict
Athenry Boy is the only course and distance winner in the line-up having gained his only success last month but reverted to type at Roscommon later. Prospectus has won twice over hurdles since joining Gavin Cromwell and ran very well at Listowel last week so he's no forlorn hope despite a big weight. He's joined by two stable companions here and ISABELLA VITE (NAP) looks the one to be on. She's been very lightly-raced and has progressed with each run and was in the lead at this trip when just run out of it over 1m5f at Down Royal. Kozy has only had four starts and should be capable of better while the maiden Glib Speech produced his best run for some time at Cork last month. High Expectations is an obvious threat as he's been in tremendous form and was clear at this distance before fading close home over 1m6f at Navan though is 7lb higher.
