SHRAHEEN (3) returns from a 158-day spell. Kicked off the last prep impressively, scoring in a novice hurdle at Tipperary over 4123m. Reliable jumper with three wins to his name from nine appearances. Can return in winning form. LORD ERSKINE (1) last appeared when he registered a win in a LR (3218m) at Fairyhouse, scoring by half a length. One of the leading contenders. RAYDAMANN (7) could only manage to finish tenth 17 days back in a flat race at Leopardstown over 2414m. That result was on the back of a solid third at Punchestown in a 3319m hurdle two starts ago. Sure to be thereabouts. STUNTMAN STEVE (5) was unplaced two starts back in a LR (3218m) at Fairyhouse then improved last start when he wound up in fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, in a hurdle (3419m) at Killarney. Deserves another chance.
