Plenty of runners here but few with realistic prospects. NEVER AGAIN (NAP) travelled well throughout on heavy ground at Thurles but couldn't quite hold off the challenge of two better fancied rivals on the run-in. She jumped very well and a similar performance can give her the edge over Newberry New. Jessica Harrington's charge was attempting to concede 7lb to Lagostovegas when runner-up at Naas and has the same problem against the selection though looks the obvious main threat. Traditional Dancer can improve from his run at Fairyhouse while the newcomers Coeur De Lion and Giant Spirit have smart pedigrees and are worth a market check.
