Midnight It Is got off the mark over fences at Clonmel but is 8lb higher. Hardwired scored over hurdles at Kilbeggan in July then followed a poor run over fences there with a comfortable victory at Punchestown for which he's been raised 7lb. ARDERA RU was in excellent form at the beginning of the year and returned to action with a convincing success at Thurles. He's been raised 9lb but is still below his hurdles mark and can go in again. Jenny Flex was a very disappointing favourite at Clonmel after winning with a bit in hand at Downpatrick. Glenmalure Lodge is a consistent performer at this level though is better over further.
