LUCKY TENNER was a useful bumper winner and made a very pleasing start over hurdles when third at Fairyhouse when not enjoying the best of runs so is fancied to go in here. Gordon Elliott's newcomer Robinstown, runner-up in a point, could be the one to give him most to do, although his stable companion Coqolino could also have a say if bouncing back from his Punchestown fall last time.
