The Jessica Harrington-trained INSTANT RETURN can get off the mark at the sixth time of asking for connections in the opener. The four-year-old has been far from disgraced in five career maiden hurdle appearances since October including a career best effort at Limerick on St Stephens day and can get the better of one of three Gordon Elliott runners, Oak Park. The Gavin Cromwell-trained Yafadadoe can get the better of the remaining Gordon Elliott runners Garrison Commander and Brawny.
