Baily Dusk scored twice over fences last autumn and can revert to hurdles on a lower mark. He acts on any ground and is well enough weighted to get into the action. Wells China has only won once in 20 starts over timber and has yet to prove himself over this trip but it's no problem for JIM BOWIE who has been going well in his latest starts over timber, including when runner-up over the track and trip in April, and can add to his winning tally. Sarah Battle was attempting to overcome a 6lb rise in the ratings for her Limerick victory when not beaten far at Punchestown and it will be a surprise if she's not competitive and though Bonifacio doesn't win often he's slipped to a decent mark and has proven form over this sort of trip.
