Eight And Bob has completed a double around here but has been hit hard with a 13lb rise so this looks more difficult. Mormon was making his handicap debut when runner-up in a tough Punchestown event in February and is the type to continue on the upgrade but stable companion Mount Hanover would be better suited by testing ground. Getaway John has gone up 1lb for finishing third on his handicap bow at Thurles so a chance is taken with MAEVE'S CHOICE from the bottom of the weights. She'd been chasing without much luck before a fair run back over hurdles at Navan then a battling victory over 2m6f at Ballinrobe where she looked as though this longer trip was certain to suit.
