SIMPLE STEPS is a 101-rated chaser whose eighth of 20 beaten 23L at Cork earlier this month on first hurdle start in a while could be the key to landing the spoils in this contest. The Colin Bowe-trained Ceatharlach and It's A Long Story appear cable of hitting the target, while Madaboy Cross can go well at a price.
