VENITIEN DE MAI finished second of five beaten ½L behind the well thought of Fenno's Storm and could land the spoils here if repeating that kind of form under jockey Derek O'Connor. Winter Magic who is finding himself in good heart currently and Allanahs Gold winner of a 2m5f hunters chase at Fairyhouse in February can give the selection the most to think about.
