FormscanBy Donal Murphy - DREAL DEAL is the suggestion in this competitive affair. All of 20lb lower than his career high hurdles mark of 145, the Grade 2 winner bounced back to form when successful over fences on his debut for Philip Rothwell at Killarney. He lost little in defeat when second at that picturesque venue on his latest start and back over the smaller obstacles now, it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end. Starting off in handicap company, the Willie Mullins-trained Sysko is sure to have plenty of supporters and could prove nicely treated off an initial mark of 122. Redwood Queen is of definite interest with Eoin Staples claiming a valuable 7lb, while others of note are Millstream Lady, Grann's Boy and A Law Of Her Own.
