Verdict
DYNAMIC ALLEN has won over hurdles and fences here, the latest when just holding on from Doldido last month. She had been beaten by the latter on her previous start and looks on the upgrade so can complete a double with Shane Fitzgerald's claim a massive bonus. My Hometown is best known for his exploits in cross-country races but is quite well handicapped at his best while Robin De Roost completed a double between the flags last month and performed with credit behind Sizing Malbay on his return to Rules at Punchestown. The maiden Hollybank King looks best of the remainder.
