The strong-travelling HYPOTENUS (3) was run out of things late when second in a beginners chase at Sligo toward the start of the month. Slight drop in trip could play to his strengths and representing trainer Gavin Cromwell may go one better here. Winner of a maiden hurdle over this distance at Tramore in April TOUCH ME NOT (9) rates highly making chase debut for leading connections. NINE GRACES (11) has some decent form with hurdles and could go well if building on two fair chasing efforts at Tipperary last season. TOTO TOO (8) is not one to discount readily.
