Not much to go on in this opening division with the out-of-form top weight Alterno being the only course and distance winner. TINTOWN ROBIN (NAP) is his only rival to have won over the trip and he's been in good form, scoring at Fairyhouse in November and only narrowly beaten at Tramore last month. He looks the one to be on as though Hello Humpfrey has managed to win four times on the all-weather he hasn't shown much over hurdles and the lightly-raced Milestone Prince may be more of a threat after a fair effort at Tramore though that was over a longer trip.
