This looks easier than the big-field novice handicap BENRUBEN contested at Fairyhouse over Easter so he's possibly the way to go. Goulane Chosen will be a threat if able to reproduce the form he showed when scoring easily at Cork 4 weeks ago. Itsalonglongroad is building up a decent record over fences and is also respected.
