Los Nadis has won four times, twice over course and distance. Jim Goldie's veteran was just caught over 2m4f here last month but his reward is a 3lb higher mark and others look better treated. Caledon Craic has only found one too good in recent starts at Punchestown and Roscommon and has to go on the short-list but the handicapper has given a real chance to ROMANY RYME back over hurdles. Another recent Gordon Elliott acquisition, he's been chasing but reverts to the smaller obstacles on an 8lb lower mark than when fourth at Wetherby in April last year. High Fair won over a shorter trip here in April and is preferred to Heart O Annandale of the others.
