ANDY DUFRESNE is highly regarded by connections and has the experience and ability to land this fascinating contest. The six-year-old got outstay close home last time but this shorter trip gives him a chance to better utilise his cruising speed and economy over hurdles. The main danger could come Captain Guinness who put in a fine performance on his hurdling debut at Navan in December and while this represents a big step up in class, he should go well. Meticulous is an interesting contender given his high grade bumper form and it will be no surprise if he is ready for this on his debut.
