FormscanBy Shane Redmond - SIMPLE THINGS is the only four-year-old in the line-up and arrives here on the back of two very promising efforts. On her second start in a handicap hurdle, she chased home odds-on favourite Fiver Friday at Bellewstown and went closer again when runner-up over this distance at Wexford in the middle of last month. She's the bottom-weight here and could now get her head in front at the main expense some of those at the opposite end of the handicap. Stede Bonnet might have finished a little closer in the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival but for being hampered at the final hurdle and he can't be ignored while Billy Lee Swagger was a good winner over further at Ballinrobe and Avalo goes back up in trip after his success at the Punchestown Festival.
