MISTER BUTLER for the Denis Hogan yard won over C&D on his sole visit to the track landing a similar contest two years ago off a 4lb lower mark. The Presenting gelding can win for the third time over hurdles at the expense of the Gordon Elliott-trained Maria Francesca who is likely to improve on his run at Tipperary last month on stable debut. The Gavin Cromwell pair of Ainmisfearr and Miraculum should not be easily dismissed while I'm On Snap for trainer Neill McCluskey and the returning Important Message have proved capable of hitting the frame.
