Lots of appealing sorts here but the most fancied is DROMORE LAD who was highly progressive last season and left the impression that he could continue his upward curve with an excellent third on reappearance last month. Chatham Street Lad is unbeaten here and looked ready to go up in trip when readily winning last time out. Jett is considerably lower rated over hurdles than fences so he also must be serious considered.
