Miss Lautrec attracted some support on her debut at Cork but only got as far as the first. Let's Twist Again didn't show much in a couple of runs over hurdles last summer but two recent runs in bumpers will have put him right for this. BEN DUNDEE made his racecourse debut in very testing conditions at Leopardstown in December and ran well for a long way in the race won by subsequent Triumph Hurdle winner Ivanovich Gorbatov. He had a very good pedigree for jumping and can make a successful return to action. Last Garrison produced easily his best run when a close fourth in a huge field at Punchestown in May and wouldn't need much more to get into the action though No Brainer looks the obvious threat after a fine hurdling debut in a big field at Gowran where he only faded in the closing stages.
