Darragh O'Keeffe has ridden the last two winners and teams up again with Presenting Point, who was receiving 6lb from Sean Says when the latter beat him a nose over 3m1f here in December so he should reverse the form on these terms. Johngus has never won but has been well supported the last twice and was in the lead at this trip when runner-up over 3m1f here last time. Western Sea has won over hurdles and fences around here, making all over 2m2f in December and running well over shorter the last twice. Crimson Chief is 0-14 over fences though is on a lowly mark as a consequence but the vote goes to the inconsistent FEYAN. Robert Tyner's mare went up a massive 13lb after landing a handicap chase at Punchestown by 18l and her two subsequent runs have been over hurdles.
