TWISS'S HILL (NAP) has yet to win over regulation fences but made a bold bid to make all at Limerick and battled on when passed by Jury Duty, who has since won a Grade 2. She shouldn't have a problem with this longer trip and will take some beating. White Arm has only won twice in 21 starts over fences but has produced several fine efforts in defeat and this stiff test of stamina is exactly what is required so he's a threat to all. Bilko is consistent enough though has never won over the bigger obstacles but Flynsini arrives in winning form having battled his way to a short-head victory over slightly shorter here last month when Lisclogher Lad unseated his rider at the second. Georges Conn has been placed in 12 of 21 starts over fences but never won.
