TEED UP won over hurdles at this meeting last year and might be able to repeat the feat on the Flat on the back of a very promising reappearance second at Tramore 3 weeks ago. Willie Mullins has a cracking recent record in this so Scaramanga and Lot of Joy rate threats. The Very Man and Burren Song also make the shortlist.
