Presenting Bonnie fell at the first on her chasing bow at Killarney in May but has subsequently won three times over hurdles on this track. Ennemi Public's second behind Roi De Dubai on his chasing debut at Wexford would make him difficult to beat but he didn't improve on that run at Ballinrobe. Dual hurdles winner NERO ROCK has taken his time to warm up over fences but made the odds-on Embittered work for his victory at Killarney and was only beaten a length so looks the one to be on.
