OH'HEREWEGO (NAP) won this last year after scoring at Listowel. He finished runner-up in that same event last month and looks set to complete a race double. Frankly All Talk progressed nicely over fences last season ending with a comfortable victory at Clonmel. He returns to hurdles on an 18lb lower mark so has to be considered despite a long absence. Churchtown Glen is another chaser and he's been in very consistent form though reverts to hurdles after falling at Listowel. Treacysenniscorthy raced over hurdles last season without success but changed stables and went chasing, scoring on just his second start at Listowel last month, so he's another to consider back over the smaller obstacles.
