ALLDUCKORNODINNER won over fences at Down Royal in December and finished runner-up over the bigger obstacles on a return visit last month. He's on a 14lb lower mark over hurdles and Paul Townend is a very positive booking. Goulane Jessie needs a thorough test of stamina as she showed when just beaten over 3m on heavy going here last month and the ground could prove a bit too quick. Darling Miss made a decent handicap debut over 2m7f at Thurles though she's another who may not get the test of stamina required. She had Mossy White just behind but the latter was in the lead at this trip so should be suited by dropping in distance. Torquay ran two very good races on this sort of ground here last summer though a strike-rate of 0-22 is off-putting.
