STANSFIELD (NAP) hasn't been placed in four starts over hurdles which is why he arrives here on a 25lb lower mark than fences after his victory over the bigger obstacles at Down Royal. Just Another Lady changed stables and ran easily her best race to date at Clonmel last month so with further progress likely and only another 2lb to carry she has to be a threat. Coole Arcade has found his form on testing ground though was receiving 16lb when runner-up at Tramore. Winsor Vixen's only victory came over 2m6f on good ground but Get Home lost a shoe at Punchestown after just failing to catch Westy Boy over 2m4f here. Eileens Boy was engaged in the 4.35 at Navan yesterday.
