This should be dominated by FORT SMITH, who has been unfortunate not to have lost his maiden tag over timber having come up against decent opposition. That isn't the case here and he can add to his bumper victory at Ballinrobe in May. Winning point-to-pointer Lisclogher Lad fell in two of his three starts over regulation fences but did better over hurdles on his latest start in May. The remainder have shown absolutely nothing but one of them has to reach a place and it may be Fiscal Nomad.
