This looks a decent contest with in-form sorts in opposition. Shedding displayed a much-improved level to oblige last time but is now 13lb higher as a result. Tintown Robin and Ourauldman cross swords once again after finishing first and second at Wexford. The latter is now 3lb better off and it's not easy to choose between the pair. Pat Coyne was notably improved last time but that was something of a bolt from the blue and he needs to back that up here. MONITION was not at his best last time when making his chasing debut and returns immediately to timber. He has some useful form in the book and could well make his class tell.
