Duroob won this in 2010 but has mainly been confined to chasing since. He's extremely well handicapped on his best form over timber and it would be no shock to se him put in a big performance. DRIVE ON REGARDLES was having his 14th start over timber when scoring narrowly at Tipperary. He has some very strong form to his credit and gets the nod but it was fast ground when Lean Times scored at Ballinrobe and he certainly won't get that here. Good Fella was raised 6lb for scoring at Navan in March and was well beaten in very heavy ground at Punchestown while Shabra Charity won over fences at Downpatrick and was beaten a long way at Kilbeggan next time.
