This can be a tricky course with it's tight bends and undulations but TELLTHEMNUTTIN has won here three times including last month from subsequent winner Boru Boy with today's rival Usurp a long way behind. He's on his highest ever mark, as he was when running really well in a much better race at Punchestown, and can return to winning ways on his favourite track. The veteran Your Busy has been running quite well over fences and reverts to hurdles on an 11lb lower mark while Mister First ran his best race for a long time when chasing home Andratx at Down Royal. Sheamus looked a very bright prospect when completing a four-timer in 2014 but has been well beaten in four subsequent starts.
