Carlow Farmer looks likely to be a big player again here and possesses invaluable hurdling experience. Dublin Four would be a major contender if back to Kelso form from January. However, it could be worth chancing WILLIE BUTLER on his hurdles debut, given a pedigree that suggests both this discipline and this trip could see him improve.
