FormscanBy Dan McEvoy - IL SILENZIO (5) loves this venue after recording his only victory in this race last year when eased down. Martin Brassil has clearly targeted this race with his charge, having an adequate pipe opener in Punchestown last time out. He is 6lbs higher this year, but that is cancelled out by Conor Smithers' claim, and so everything would appear to be right for him. Love Like This has a 13lb lower chase mark than hurdles and was sent off favourite last time. Although underperforming, Daniel King keeps the faith, and she may be able to fulfil her potential off a light weight. One Way Traffic ran well on his seasonal reappearance, and a market move would be noteworthy, but he still hasn't gotten his head in front after 13 attempts.
