Preference is for WORLD AS ONE, who looked more professional than on his first couple of starts over hurdles when going down narrowly at Tramore 5 weeks ago and a repeat should see Willie Mullins' 5-y-o open his account. Lygon Lad got back to something close to his best at Bellewstown recently, so he heads up the dangers, with Nirisque and Blue Trix taken to fight out third.
