Trainer Gavin Cromwell will be looking for MING DYNASTY to win again here making his journey to the Galway hurdle is an easier one as he strives for a higher mark to secure a place in the race. The J P McManus-owned Wait Here has been put in his place on his last two starts by the selection and can get nearest to him here. The Peter Fahey-trained, Room To Roam can collect more prize money.
