Up Sluggarh is having problems at his fences and is 10lb higher than his victory here in April. Old Castletown gained his only victory under NH rules over hurdles here in October and has never won over fences so ILLTAKEITFROMHERE looks the safest option. He landed a Wexford handicap in good style last month and very nearly overcame an 8lb rise when runner-up to Harangue at Roscommon. Heavenly Brook is 2-32 over fences but is only 3lb higher than his victory at Clonmel in March.
