MOONUNDERWATER ran a cracking race over this trip at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and started favourite at Thurles a few days later but found the 2m6f much too far. This is his trip and he can gain his first success. Coney Choice has won a point on good going and a handicap at Down Royal over timber on testing ground so the conditions won't bother him while Key Account has a victory on the course to his credit and he's been racing over further than he likes recently. Bye Bye O Bye found heavy ground against him on his return to action at Cork last month and is better judged on his final start of last season when a close third on fast going at Downpatrick. Lake Chapala had shown nothing before a better effort at Clonmel in February and any further progress should see him in the mix.
