Banna Man's best runs have been on good ground over timber and he was in excellent form in the autumn when conditions were similar to tonight's. Paddy Curry was having his twelfth start when easily landing a Gowran maiden in November but had very little chance at the weights at Naas on his only subsequent run and looks a few pounds high. Imperial Belle is another who may struggle from her mark as she is 10lbs higher than when landing a Wexford handicap last August. COTHROM NA FEINNE, who Des McDonogh trainers for Mrs Jim Bolger, hasn't had too much experience over hurdles but ran well for a long way behind Shinrock Paddy in a Punchestown maiden when last seen in October and makes his handicap debut from a fair mark.
