DOONBEG DON shaped better than the bare result over hurdles last month and is taken to make it 2-2 in this sphere having scored on his chase debut at Galway in October. Rightfolksplease gave it a good shot when third in a big-field Naas handicap last time and he should be on the premises once again, along with Finnians Row and Le Grand Vert.
