A low-grade handicap where the market may provide some clues. Sarah Battle created a shock when beating Whiskey And Red over 3m at Clonmel then found the minimum trip much too short on a return visit. Abolitionist reverts to hurdling after a couple of abortive attempts over fences and, as he's only 4lb higher than his victory at Sligo in the summer, he has to be on the short-list. It's almost two years since Paco Jack won a race but he's slipped to a lowly mark and Paul Carberry is a positive booking. TIN TOWN BOY was having his 20th start over hurdles when Ruby Walsh rode him for the first time at Thurles last month where his mount battled on over what looked a trip just too short. The combination are reunited here and are handed a speculative vote in a tough race to fathom.
