Verdict
Ricky Langford won this a year ago and returned to form at Wexford last month. Jack Foley is a positive booking so another big run is expected. Jack Holiday had been going well all summer before just failing to take advantage of a much lower hurdles mark at Wexford. WITHALLDUERESPECT looked one to follow when returning from a long break to land a Clonmel handicap and can't have been right when beaten a long way at Tramore. She gets another chance to prove that latest effort all wrong. Fly De Megaudais has been well beaten over further since a very easy victory over this trip at Tipperary.
