Verdict
Plenty of these are recent winners though The Folkes Tiara's last success came over hurdles. However, Rachael Blackmore is on board rather than Dancing On My Own, whom she rode to victory at Cheltenham in October. Bythesametoken was conceding 9lb when narrowly beaten by Dont Go Yet at Down Royal so should turn the tables on these terms. Fighting Fit has completed a double at Galway and Listowel though a 10lb rise makes this tougher while THE BIG CHAP makes his handicap debut over fences. However, the latter initiated a double when beating My Mate Mozzie here in October and the latter has won at Cheltenham subsequently so a hat-trick beckons for Paul Flynn's charge.
