Highly competitive but it could pay to take a chance on METAMORPHEUS who has shaped well on both starts over fences recently and returns to hurdles having contested a couple of races at Galway when last seen in this sphere. Paul's Dream makes plenty of appeal if her jumping holds up, having won at Wexford before finishing second at Kilbeggan, while Ifitwasme won this race on softer ground last year and remains one to be interested in despite a disappointing recent Flat run.
