Cappacurry Zak won this last year and has been running over hurdles this campaign. He beat today's rival Wishmoor 4 lengths at Navan in March and can confirm the form though was earlier 4 lengths behind Jurby at Down Royal and is no better off. Five-times chase winner KAVANAGHS CORNER is up 6lb for scoring under Emma Twomey at Fairyhouse but should be good enough to complete a double unless General Principle, who has raced in much stronger company, decides to stage a comeback from his falling mark. The latter's stablemate Out Sam, once rated 140, will find things a bit easier on the cross-country circuit but wouldn't need to be anywhere near his best to take a hand.
