Monotype, three times a winner over hurdles, is still a novice over fences and makes his handicap debut. Punches Cross has completed a double over the minimum trip on this track but has gone up another 6lb and hasn't proved himself over this far. Danse Away took advantage of a much lower hurdles rating at Clonmel and is 11lb higher than his victory over fences at Navan but he loves the trip and the ground should be perfect. Stowaway Forever is still a maiden over fences and probably still a few pounds high but GETAWAY KID (NAP) looks to have a chance of conceding weight all round. Noel Meade's charge looked one to follow when scoring over this trip at Down Royal and was in the lead and going well when falling at the last at Fairyhouse last time.
