ST CUTHBERT'S CAVE (12) Was competitive when 3rd last start in a hurdle at Cork. Will be positive in the run early. Trainer has gone for the tongue tie on, take note. Top prospects against this opposition. SMOOTH SCOTCH (10) Ran well when 2nd last run in a hurdle at Navan and getting better in recent performances. Interesting gear change of winkers on first time. Is in good order and can run well. BUTCHER HOLLOW (2) Did well when 3rd last start in a hurdle at Navan. Should be going forward early. Tongue tie on could be an important change. One of the major players. QAASID (7) Resuming after a break of 30 weeks. Ran 6th last start in a hurdle at Kilbeggan. Should come to hand quickly. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds.
