Winter Breeze has been alternating between hurdles and fences and scored over the bigger obstacles at Killarney last time. He should run well while Le Braye won a Perth handicap over this trip last month before finding 2m4f too short a couple of days later. Capture The Drama is much better over fences which is why he's on a 23lb lower mark on his return to hurdles while King's Song has a similar profile and can run from a 25lb lower mark. About You ran his best race to date over hurdles at Limerick in December and is probably capable of better though this can go to ARCH STANTON. Noel Meade's charge had only shown the occasional sign of ability before a much-improved run in a huge field at Punchestown last week where he was staying on over a slightly shorter trip.
