Acronym is penalised for his two bumper victories and though he started off with a decent effort over hurdles at Punchestown he's struggled badly since stepping up to this trip. His stable also run Cats For Cash, runner-up in two bumpers and better for a recent introduction over hurdles at Fairyhouse. Castle North ran his best race to date when leading for a long way at Kilbeggan though winning point-to-pointer GENERATOR CITY can take this as he was staying on at the finish over 2m4f at Sligo last weekend when Summer Hill was 6l behind. Last One has shown potential in bumpers and makes her hurdling debut while newcomer Hell Or High Water has an excellent jumping pedigree and is one to note.
