Prolific point-to-point winner Boxing Along was narrowly beaten over hurdles at Tramore in December and is much more leniently treated than over fences, where he ran poorly at Punchestown last month. The Grey Guy was in excellent form at this time last year and finished runner-up in this. His two recent runs will have put him straight and he can get into the action. The veteran Telenor reverted to hurdles for the first time in seven years at Fairyhouse last month and ran much better than expectations so he's no forlorn hope. Fairy Field wasn't beaten far in her last three starts in the autumn but is still a maiden so the vote goes to LUCKYINMILAN, who is up 10lb for his recent victory in a first-time hood over the course and distance but has the headgear on again.
