Trainer Gordon Elliott has an impressive 51% win and place at this meeting in the last four years and his KICKHAM can be expected to improve on his handicap hurdle debut earlier this month at Navan with the five-year-old appreciating the drop in trip. Johnny Sue who returns from the point-to-point scene and Timmie Roe can hit the frame while Noel Meade's The Comediologist can give the selection most to think about.
