Mr Moondance won this in 2017 but hasn't scored subsequently and is still on a higher mark. WELL TOM has only had three runs over hurdles and shown nothing but he's improved markedly over fences and comes here on a 12lb lower mark so looks the one to be on. Wild Desire has won over the trip but that was last June and he's still 5lb higher. The veteran Soul Season loves it around here and scored twice on the track last summer. He's had very little racing for his age and it would be no shock to see him defy a big weight. Crocosmia ran much better at Sligo and it wouldn't take much more to get into contention.
