Winning point-to-pointer Its All Hush Hush returned to action with an excellent run behind Monastrell at Down Royal and will make a bold bid to make a successful start in a handicap. Miss Fancy Pants is useful on her day but refused to take part at Naas last time and is best watched for now. Barneys Honour and the reappearing Mister Farmer are better over fences nowadays while The Last Stand hasn't won over timber for three years. HAROLD'S CROSS was having only his fifth start over hurdles when a very good second to Jacks Island at Clonmel last month. He's progressed with every outing and the handicapper has only raised him 2lb and given him a fine chance here.
