Verdict
Aces And Kings landed a hunter chase at Tramore recently and will find this tougher while Zardsky has a shout on his third at Punchestown in December but has reverted to his previous poor form since. HOLD EM COWBOY makes more appeal, despite a 10lb rise for scoring at Fairyhouse in January, as this looks slightly easier - he gets a tentative vote. De Glebe Star has the previous form to figure and was in the lead when falling at Limerick last time. He'll figure with a clear round, while Ardglen should go well if reproducing an earlier third at Market Rasen.
