Allez Kal showed his first real sign of ability at Punchestown last month then ran well when runner-up at Fairyhouse last weekend so has to be respected. Emmas Dilemma makes her handicap debut after a better run at Tramore and will be suited by this stiffer test but Lizzies Champ has been looking a bit high in the weights after going up 10lb for his victory at Killarney. Si rEctor is better than recent form figures suggest and can get involved but No Pressure Pat has been looking high enough after completing a double in October. BORU BOY jumps well and stays the trip on testing ground. A winner at Cork in April, he reappeared with a fine run at Punchestown where he would have finished closer but for a last-flight error so can carry his big weight to another success.
