HILLTOP SUPREME has his jumping problems over fences but reverted to hurdles to score over this trip at Fairyhouse before being brought down next time. Royal Rhythm, who finished third in the former event, has lost a couple of chances through abandoned meetings though looks held. Electricitywork is still a maiden and never looked likely to reel in Rogin Cajun when last seen at Down Royal in October. Grey Habit gained her only victory over this trip at Fairyhouse in January and ran well again there earlier this month while Four Horsemen ran his best race to date when stepped up to 2m7f at Thurles and enters the equation.
