Onto the chase course for the last four races and Joseph O'Brien, who trains Flicker Flame in the previous race, can complete a double via ALL THE ANSWERS. An impressive winner at Cork in November, he hasn't run since a fair run in a competitive Fairyhouse handicap the following month and he looks the type who could win a nice prize this summer. Dakota Moirette has never won over fences despite several decent performances and he's still looking a bit high in the weights. Monbeg Chit Chat was in fine form at this time last summer, completing a double over fences at Punchestown and Tipperary, and he's been racing over timber recently though this trip could prove on the short side. Tisamystery is best at this trip and has won around here and ran too badly to be true at Punchestown last time.
