The Noel Meade-trained CROWN OF THORNS can build on two encouraging displays since returning to the track last month and will appreciate the slight drop in trip here. Aquarian, who makes his handicap debut here in first-time cheekpieces and King Of Aran, winner here on last hurdle start can follow the selection home.
