Warcraft had a little to spare when beating Armaramak at Clonmel and is in good form but he's penalised and meets some in-form rivals here. MAYO ABBEY relishes fast ground as he showed when beating Cloone Stream at Kilbeggan. He could provide the answer to this tricky contest though Strongpoint, who made amends for a costly fall at Kilbeggan when scoring easily at Tipperary, is a real threat. Coscorrig is very experienced and has won her last two starts over fences but Cruising Katie was fortunate to score here last time and this looks tough. Maid Of Malabar won her only start over fences at Cork though she will need to jump better here and Lady Hillingdon can get involved with her allowances.
