NOW IS THE HOUR returned from 7 months off with a solid third in a Navan maiden chase 2 weeks ago and, having highlighted he's very much one to be interested in for such contests as this last season, he could well be ready to strike. Will Do for Gordon Elliott, Cork National winner Lonesome Boatman and Better Times Ahead are just a trio of others to consider in what is a very intriguing contest.
