FormscanBy Mark Nunan - NAME ME FAMOUS was progressive over hurdles last year and finished second in handicap chase at Sligo before being put away for the winter. Eoin McCarthy's charge overcame a sloppy round of jumping to win at Clonmel on his second run back and his revised mark of 100 still leaves him rated 8lb lower than his hurdles mark. Clever Currency could go well from the front around this sharp track. He made all over hurdles at Leopardstown in March and didn't quite stay 2m4f when fourth in a handicap chase at Killarney. He was below-par last time at Punchestown but Ben Harvey is a good booking and this is his best trip. Pats Choice has plenty of weight and was another to disappoint last time when a beaten favourite at Tramore but he had been runner-up three times in a row prior to that including narrow defeats at Navan and Ballinrobe.
