A nigh impossible to solve opener with a maximum field of 25 runners seemingly guaranteed. Brave Out carries top-weight for John Kiely and he should find this longer trip more to his liking after being outpaced over 2m3f at Downpatrick. Nobody Home races from 7lb higher than when scoring at Fairyhouse over Easter, but he's enjoyed the switch back to hurdles, whilst 2017 sixth Crossed My Mind returns to action a fresh horse. Lyreen Lad lurks at the foot of the weights so market support could prove informative, but we'll stick with KILLARO BOY. He's improved rapidly over fences this season and reverts to hurdles from a very tempting 20lb lower mark.
