The Noel Meade-trained RUSSIAN BILL was recently seen winning over the larger obstacles and comes into this race off a potentially handy mark back hurdling. The Kalanisi gelding can land the spoils ahead of the solid and consistent Peaches And Cream with the Paul Nolan-trained can muster a bold bid on his hurdling return. Le Hatchette, second of eight at this venue earlier this month should be considered with the Gordon Elliott-trained Monkshood capable of a return to form.
