Verdict
DEFINITEADARE (NAP) has been raised 9lb for a convincing victory over the trip at Listowel but this looks a good opportunity for a double. Three-times chase winner Everlastingpromise reverts to hurdles on a 32lb lower mark with a 7lb claimer on board so is an obvious threat to all though the owner's Harvey's Quay, who makes his handicap debut after three maiden runs, is the mount of Mark Walsh. Wexford maiden winner Roisins Ciara didn't get far at Killarney last time while An Marcach's course victory came over fences. Supreme Vinnie is back on the same mark as when scoring at Tramore last September and was narrowly beaten there in August though he's better on quicker ground. The lightly-raced Gali Flight has shown a bit of potential over shorter and the longer trip should be in his favour.
