DOGORA is the only five-year-old in the line-up and receives 10lb from all of his rivals, which should be enough to see him home. He would have won on his chasing bow on this track but for falling and though beaten by Bright New Dawn at Punchestown, when Formidableopponent was well behind, he's unlikely to come up against one as good as the winner here though there are several decent performers engaged. Followmeuptocarlow is definitely one of them having finished runner-up to My Murphy on his only start over fences at Fairyhouse and Some Tikket has shown potential in his three starts over the bigger obstacles. Ring Ben is only moderate over hurdles but looks like making a better chaser if his debut at Tramore is a guide.
