Oh'herewego was running for the 17th time over hurdles when defying a bad mistake at the last to score very easily over the course and distance in May. Whether he can produce a repeat with a 9lb rise is another matter though he'd be an obvious contender if able to do so. GOODNIGHTNGODBLESS hasn't had much racing and looked a nice staying prospect when landing a Tipperary handicap in May. She didn't reappear until three weeks ago when running on nicely over slightly shorter at Roscommon and looks another potential winner for J P McManus. Se Mo Laoch, disqualified after finishing first past the post the last time he ran over hurdles just over a year ago, has been running well over fences so has to come into the equation as does Directional, who won a point-to-point in June then a handicap over timber at Kilbeggan a couple of weeks later. Queen Oscar looked certain to be suited by this trip when staying on strongly over 2m3f at Cork and can prove best of the remainder in a competitive handicap.
