LOUP DU SAUBOUAS was in fine form at this time a year ago over fences and can revert to hurdling on a 27lb lower mark so must be the selection despite his long break. Tin Town Boy produced a good effort behind Wither Hills at Punchestown and is only 1lb higher but connections of Slew Charm won't be happy with a 6lb rise for a superb run at Gowran on his return as he hasn't won since 2006. Where's The Dosh looked very progressive when scoring at Killarney last May though he's another with an absence to overcome but Concrete And Clay is fit from the Flat where he's been in good form. Beir Bua couldn't cope with a 10lb rise after scoring at Listowel but ran well enough to be in the firing-line here.
