The Banger Doyle's only visit here resulted in a victory over the trip though he's had jumping problems elsewhere. Good As Hell won a handicap here in May though is 10lb higher but THE DARA MAN (NAP) has been narrowly beaten the last twice in tougher handicaps than this and looks the one to beat. He had Kildorrey well behind when runner-up at Punchestown while Mica Malpic is better over further. Butterflyvespiere chased home the long odds-on Heia at Tramore with the remainder a long way behind so has to be respected.
