Ardglen began his winning run over fences on a 24lb lower mark and the assessor looks to have got hold of him. Kingsmoss is tried in blinkers after a poor run at Wexford while Duroob has run two shockers after being touched off by Paddy O Dee at Downpatrick. Hold Em Cowboy ran quite well on his handicap debut at Punchestown and should be considered but it's about time AN BLASCAOID MOR was losing his maiden tag over jumps as he was only caught close home by The Bishop Looney on very testing ground at Galway last month.
