WILLY DE HOUELLE (6) may prove tough to beat with the advantage of a run. Returned after an eight month absence with a promising second in a G3 Juvenile Hurdle. Entitled to come forward for the effort. MURCIA (9) ended last campaign with an exciting Listed victory at Auteuil (France). Makes Irish debut with solid claims. Second string from the yard. HELLO NEIGHBOUR (2) is unbeaten in two career starts. Taking on tougher competition with place chance on reappearance. NATURALLY NIMBLE (1) defeated Willy De Houelle on previous outing with advantage of race fitness. Harder task this time.
