Concordin won a handicap hurdle here two years ago and was having his first start since and making his debut over fences when falling at the second at Punchestown last month. Goulane Chosen has jumped well enough since falling on his chasing bow and battles on. He should be thereabouts again but looks vulnerable. Kansas City Chief was beaten a long way when runner-up at Thurles but should be suited by dropping back to this trip while On Fiddlers Green has shown the occasional glimpse of ability over fences. ROLLY BABY is in the veteran stage and has begun a career over fences at an advanced age. A bad mistake put paid to his chances at Limerick in December and with improvement in his jumping expected he's handed the vote.
