Gavin Cromwell runs two but Clash Of D Titans has been off the track since winning at Leopardstown in 2018 and Tokyo Getaway is 8lb higher than when scoring over timber at Punchestown in January. Ask Heather reverts to hurdling off the same mark as when successful over fences at Clonmel in March but BALINABOOLA STEEL is preferred. The latter has won three times over timber since switching to Shark Hanlon’s yard in June including his latest outing at Listowel and another bold bid is expected. Miss Cedille and Drifting Back are recent maiden hurdle winners though the latter was beaten off similar marks in handicaps earlier.
