Enniskerry has been beaten 7 lengths and 8 lengths in two starts and though his experience will stand him in good stead he could be vulnerable. THE BIG STORY chased home surprise winner Ever Present at Punchestown and the third has won easily subsequently. Noel Meade's charge is taken to go one better though Fissa comes here having fallen over hurdles at Limerick so connections must believe he has the pace for this. Prevaricate, who won a point at Knockmullen House last month, would be an obvious threat if getting a run from his reserve spot.
