Eight Till Late has been out of form over timber while Sheamus, who looked a cracking prospect when completing a four-timer in bumpers and over hurdles in 2014, had a long absence before returning with three poor runs last year. ST STEPHENS GREEN (NAP) only just failed to concede Heartbreak City 6lb over hurdles at the Galway Festival before going one better at Killarney. As the winner went on to win the Ebor and finish runner-up in the Melbourne Cup, Emmet Mullins' charge can hardly be opposed on that form and he's also won a bumper. The Invisible Dog is taking a massive step up in trip after finishing a close third over a mile last time though he didn't show much over hurdles. Dual bumper and hurdles winner Kalopsia has been beaten a long way in his last three starts over timber while though Zamira was only beaten a head over 1m2f on her debut here in July and started a short-priced favourite over an extra furlong at Killarney a month later she was very disappointing.
