Hayley Turner travels over to ride Arthurian Fame for Joseph O'Brien and though her mount was a comfortable winner over Ciao at Naas the latter has a big pull in the weights with Megan Nicholls' claim taken into account. Kerosin seems best at Dundalk these days while MISS SNOSSYBOOTS completed a hat-trick with a comfortable victory in a lucrative handicap there a fortnight ago. She's 7lb higher here but Katie O'Farrell's 7lb claim can enable her to complete a four-timer. Take A Turn has won his last two starts over hurdles and should go well with a low weight while The Mouse Doctor is just 4lb higher than his victory here last summer.
