The old boy, Barney King , second of 16, beaten 1L here a year ago, will no doubt make the running here, with Kilganger Queen, Wee Tiger and Miss McIlroy following in behind. Ashjan ,won a Downpatrick handicap hurdle in June and Kilganger Queen , quick return and tongue-tie still on will suit, should be on the shortlist, but preference is for EIRI NA CASCA , who has track, distance and size of field conditions in his favour.
