Verdict
Mark Walsh takes over on MAY DULLEA, who has been in excellent form recently and might have hit the front too soon at Tramore. She is 10lb higher than her victory here in June but is taken to concede weight all round. Tipped Up Harry hasn't won since November and isn't the most consistent but is just 2lb higher so should get involved. Jack The Hat alternates between hurdles and fences and is well handicapped over the smaller obstacles but Our Sox ran a shocker in soft ground at Galway having earlier landed a Tipperary handicap on good going. Mustadrik has been hit hard in the weights after his exploits early this summer while Dream Crusher hasn't run since December 2013 when failing to complete a hat-trick.
