MALLARDS IN FLIGHT jumped well and was suited by the strong gallop when scoring easily at Clonmel. Providing she gets a good pace again, she can defy an 8lb rise as Danny Benson claims most of that back. All Honours, who was beaten 15 lengths into fourth, looks held but the veteran Preswell Lad has been in excellent form over fences and can arrive here on an 18lb lower mark so must be a threat despite the fact he's only won once over timber. He has the beating of Over Church Road on collateral form and the latter, though consistent, is taking her time to gain her first victory. High Talk is a regular around here and has won over hurdles and fences so comes into the reckoning but Andiamos has now gone 17 races without winning and ran very poorly at Cork last time. Paddy's Faith did a bit better here last time and will definitely be suited by stepping up markedly in trip.
