Aussie Reigns sets a decent standard on his two-mile course success in December. A Listed winner on the Flat, he looks sure to play a leading role in this. It is perhaps disconcerting that the champion jockey has passed him by in favour LIVELOVELAUGH however. He's been running in Graded contests of late and with no doubts about stamina, seems sure to give this easier contest a real shot. That duo are by no means certain to have things their own way. Carrig Cathal has some decent hurdling form of his own in the book and should go well if recovering from being brought down in a competitive race last Sunday. Thirsty Work is in fine form of late and is greatly respected while Duke Cass was upsides that rival when crashing out at Navan last time out in search of a four-timer. Surf Instructor looks progressive on the back his Cork success if dealing with this trip. 1. Livelovelaugh 2. Aussie Reigns 3. Thirsty Work
