Sea Of Erris had Orange Touch a neck behind at Wexford a couple of weeks ago when gaining a shock victory. He's been raised 6lb and can again take care of the runner-up on just 1lb worse terms. Seamies Dream won a handicap over 2m4f at Clonmel in April but hasn't run so well since including over fences at Ballinrobe in May. Sox's Girl is inconsistent but would have a chance at her best but The Boss's Choice appeared to appreciate stepping up to 2m4f last time. GRAND CRU has yet to reach a place in six starts over timber but has improved dramatically on the Flat recently with victories at Wexford and Tramore so hopefully can transfer that form to hurdles as he's very well handicapped.
