Favourites have won five of the last nine renewals of this race so with that in mind ST FAZ (3) looks a major player revisiting this sphere following a disappointing flat effort at Curragh eight days ago. Opened his hurdling account with comfortable 2L front-running success tackling the trip at Killarney and only missed the frame once from five appearances in a hood. Market confidence for the easy Navan maiden hurdle winning CHARMING STAR (1) will prove significant. LITTLE TRILBY (2) just did enough to get off the mark at Downpatrick last month and could be in the mix.
