Fresh from saddling a hat-trick at Loughanmore on Monday, Stuart Crawford will attempt to continue a fine season with NOSNOWHERE in this. The Soldier Of Fortune gelding had stayed on strongly over the shorter 2m4f trip at Oldtown on his debut when only beaten by four lengths which would likely leave him as the one to beat for this. The stablemates Back The Park and Downtown Nashville both managed to finish placed on their respective debuts, with the latter finishing 20 lengths adrift of the impressive Monzon Sport, who was subsequently bought by Willie Mullins for 400,000stg.

COMMON PEOPLE took a big step forward from his debut when finishing strongly at Durrow last month to take a close second, and he could be the one to side with in this. Captains Song could enter the reckoning if bouncing back to his Umma House form, following his Borris House non-completion last month, whilst Weweiss took a step in the right direction at Kirkistown last time.

SECRET OF ELEGANCE progressed nicely from her first to second starts, as she only found one rival too strong at Oldcastle, and if continuing to progress in that vein, she should not be too far away. Glenmalure Flyer has a whole host of experience to draw upon and is sure to be knocking on the door once again in this, alongside Leading Rose, who can bounce back from a rare blip at Ballygogue House last time.

Preview
FOUNTAIN HOUSE has not been winning by particularly far of late, but three back-to-back victories coming into this leave him as the one to beat for his in-form connections. Catalani would appear to be his biggest danger, as he is a seven-year-old with few miles on the clock. He flew home at Ballycrystal last time to chase home a horse that has won since. Of the others, Sir Argus posted a seasons-best effort at Loughanmore, but does have a quick turnaround, Big Interest would need to put his best foot forward, whilst Weespoof is new to this division but could put up a big effort.

It could be worth taking a chance on THEHANDSOMECHARMER in this, as he won very easily at Oldcastle last month. Admittedly, it was not a strong contest, but he seems to have taken a step forward. The mare Time In A Bottle is likely capable of more, Arkhill remains unexposed, whilst Rongoright performed creditably at Ballyknock.

Preview
MONEYSHARVIN looked to bump into an above-average winner for the division at Kirkistown last month, and he will be expected to go one better in this. Clonmeen Cross stands out as his most likely biggest threat, as he was still holding leading claims when falling two-out at Nenagh back in mid-February, whilst Pagims Du Brizais and Solar Stride could have place claims if recapturing their best.
