The principles from a C&D contest a fortnight ago are back and while winner Fairymount Boy goes up another 7lb ahead of his hat-trick bid, he isn't to be underestimated and should toss his hat in the ring again. Runner-up Yes Man produced his best effort for a while for that switch back to hurdles but the solid option is WEST LIGHT. He is nothing if not consistent and, with a 6lb pull at the weights, has a fair shot at reversing form with his last-time-out conqueror. Cork maiden winner Be Rude Not To isn't guaranteed to be suited dropping in trip but must enter calculations while Turasoir also ran well over C&D two weeks ago and can hold claims on that showing.
